Me too, My surgery is on Thursday also. I am so happy that the last two years of waiting and planning is finally going to pay off. It has been a rough road but I keep on focusing on the end result. Good Luck on your surgery!

Thanks Girl!

Let's check back as soon as we can to see how each other's doing.

Are you staying in the hosp or is it out-patient for you? My ins. company approved me for a 2 night stay, but all he people in the surgeon's office - including the surgeon himself - say that I'll be just fine and want to come home. I hope they are right!

Good luck - God Bless....

Linda

Hello,

I just wanted to say hi and see how your surgery went. My surgery went really well but I had to end up staying the night at the hospital. My poor fiance had to sleep on the tile floor because there were no more cots in the hospital. I am really really really sore around the port site. Well I hope everything is going well with you and that your surgery went well. Good Luck ....we both are on our way to a brand new life!!!!!!!:thumbdown:

horseygirl, are you still happy with Dr. Hunter? My PCP here in Sequim referred me to him. I jumped thru all the hoops, then discovered my employer has WLS excluded from their group plan. Currently appealing thru obesitylaw.com I only need cunsultations with the nutritionist and anasthesiologist before surgery. Anyhow, how is Hunter and staff treating you?...Dan.

      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.
