LAst night was pretty bad. All those wires. I did fall alseep pretty quickly with how tired I was. Unfortunately I sleep on my stomach, so I was woken up and told I could not sleep on my stomach. I guess it interferes with the EKG or something. If I don't sleep on my stomach I usually can only sleep for short intervals. Like I've fallen asleep on my back, but wake up like 20 minutes later. So I slept (very uncomfortably) on my side, and woke up so many times. I had a horrible nights sleep. They finally had me get up at a quarter to 6, and I was so tired. I went home and washed my hair to get the crap out of it and went back to sleep.

So this study was really in n way reflective of how I usually sleep. I really hope I passed, because I cannot do that again. At one point she came in to check my nasal cannula and I really hope something just fell out and that did not mean I stopped breathing or something.

So yeah it sucked and I cannot do that again, so if I did not pass, I will have to talk to the Dr., since it is no way reflective of my true sleep.

Ohhhh Jess, I'm sorry it was so awful for you. Hopefully the Dr will be able to work with you on this one. I didn't care for the nasal thing - I felt like I couldn't catch my breath. I slept very well with the face thing - even though I looked like Hannibal Lector!!

I hope they do take into consideration that we don't always sleep as we do during the test. I took awhile longer to fall asleep with the aparatus on. And, don't normally wake up at 6am! So, we shall see!

Good luck to you!!

      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.
