Hey CCarterRN,

My pre-op diet took a toll on me more mental

then the actual hunger pain, it's funny how I caught an episode of The Dr. Oz Show and he had a special guest on that wrote a book about toxic hunger. The pain or "hunger" I was feeling was the body's way of releasing the toxins from the processed foods I was eating.

So after my will was tested on Friday,(Breakfast which included a simple toasted buttered roll) everything else seemed like a breeze to me.

This journey is so much more mental and now it feels real! I'm really excited bc having a date makes it real but the pre op dieting let's me know that it's game on!!

That's close to where I had to drive down for my psych eval! I actually live about 90 miles away from the hospital bc of insurance purposes...ugh???? You gotta do, what ya gotta do!!????

There are a bunch of us June 25thers....I am having mine June 25th in Baltimore, md. Down 4lbs so far on the pre op diet

I agree with you! I am drawn to foods I like just because they are there. NOT BECAUSE I AM HUNGRY!!! It's definitely a test of mental strength!

Good luck!

Having surgery on the 25 as well and looking for a buddy as well. I will have lapband to sleeve revision in Juarez Mexico. Im excited and scared all at the same time. Today was rough i was reslly emotional for some reason and fought hunger all day but managed to stay ony preop diet.

The hospital just called me to set up an appointment for pre admission testing for this

Thursday at 1pm. Has anyone had it done yet or is going to??? What can I expect??? Help??

My appointment was this morning...I had to leave a urine sample, they took some blood, checked my blood pressure. They also went over instructions as to what meds I could take the morning of the surgery...when to stop eating/drinking the night before...etc. Some people talk to the anesthesia department at this appointment...I will talk to them the morning of surgery. Hope that helps and makes you feel more comfortable.
