And I am soooo ready!! This is the first sx that I am excited to be having! I'm floating on cloud 9 today. Plus, we get to go pick up our new van we bought today after work. SO, I'll be all set for a new me! Then I'll go home and pack my overnight bag and I'll be all set for tomorrow. They told me to be there at 7:30, but I'm sure I'll have to wait a bit for my sx time. YEAHH!!!

Hi MadysMom -

Congrats on your surgery tomorrow! I too am having surgery in the morning. I have to be there at 7:45 for a 9:30 surgery time. I am so excited that I probably won't get much sleep tonight.

You take care and I hope that all goes well with both of our surgeries!

Congratulations to you both. I hope it goes well for you. I see my last required doctor Monday, so I am hoping to have my surgery the end of April or early May.

My surgery went really well. I rolled into the operating room at 10:15 and walked out of the hospital at 12:15. Pretty good I would say.

There are 5 incisions on my belly, but only 1 really hurts. It is the longest of the 4 so I am assuming that is the port? The other 4 really don't hurt, even if you touch them with a little pressure. MY left shoulder is getting sore and I have some burping-gurgling gas pains but the Gas-X and walking seem to make it subside for a bit.

Actually I feel much better than I had thought. I have had 2 c-sections and this is a breeze compared to that!

MadysMom - I really hope that your surgery went well. Please post and let us know how it is going today!

      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.
