Welcome to the Smashing Pumpkin's pumpkin patch!!! The tread "October Odessey" is a great thread. There is a place there to add your name to the list that is joining the band. If you want a counter in your signature just go to one of ours and click on it. It should take you to the site. You can configure it and put it in your signature.

I wish I was going next week. I have 3 more weeks. Good luck!!!

YEA!!!! See I told you once you got it, it would move fast. I thought of you last night. I went to the north area support group, Kim lead it, and it was mentioned that Dr. Snyder was going to Rome on Monday and also a vacation and would be gone for a few weeks. So I am glad you got in before that. What time is your surgery? Are you at Founders or Rose? Good luck to you. You will do great as you have researched and planned for this so long, you know what to expect and what to do. Now go stock up on those Protein drinks and broth to have on hand post op. :tt1:

Sorry I just saw your post Long! It is so funny how I got in right before he left for Italy, how cool! But I am still a little paranoid that they hurried and that was the reason I had those unbearable gas pains. But the beauty of anesthesia is I wasn't even really part of the surgery, so I'll never know. I'm a little sad I haven't been able to contact him, but it's done now.

Bino thanks for asking, I have bad pains again tonight *sigh* I just want it to go away! This gas has been really hard for me. During my galbladder surgery, it was breeze! I just can't wait to weigh myself at the post op next Wed (I don't own a scale).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
