I couldn't be more excited. Since I work in the OR, I am comfortable with going in. I have been on clean liquids since yesterday and I am starving. Of course, not really starving but it feels like it. Getting ready to get in the shower then head off to the hospital. Eeeekkkkkk! (girly scream)

Say a prayer for me today!

I am up! So my mom, hubby, cousin and neice arrived at the day surgery desk of the hospital at 5:15 as scheduled however there wasn't anybody to check us in until 5:30. No sweat of of my back.

Checked in, gowned and sitting in bed while my pre-op nurse comes in to tell me that my 7:15 surgery is delayed due to an emergency case who spent all night in the SICU and needs immediate attention. No big deal again. They move me to a private room verses a curtain partitioned room. My boss calls me via the pre-op nurse phone just to tell me she is thinking of me. This is sweet because she and I work in a hospital across town and she made some calls to find me! 12ish, the CRNA comes back and tells me it is almost my turn. Whew! I liked her, I really did like her. She came recommended to me and let's face it....I wasn't having just anybody monitor me while I was under anesthesia. That stuff is what scares the crap out of me. Around 12:30 I got some versed and by 1:00 it was lights out for me! I woke up around 2:00 and with terrible nausea and gas pains. Made it home but don't remember the ride. Slept, walked and pee'd until around 8ish. Now I am awake. Still no incision pain, just gas. Deep breathing exercises for me.

Now, I just am excited to start getting my old life back. Before the fat, I was thin. Here I come!

Thanks for the prayers ladies!

      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.
