I should have taken a couple days off BEFORE surgery. I'm as unproductive as possible at work. in 48 hours I will be getting my band... and nothing at work seems to be distracting me from that!

I'd love to just sleep until Friday so when I wake up it's time to go!

and I am SOOOOO tired this week. I have been shaking my head to stay awake at work. So few calories. I don't feel dizzy or lightheaded, but I am exhausted. Is that usual?

I'd say it's normal. I think I felt the same way. That and I was highly irritable. I distinctly remember that!

I know how you feel. Im so glad that we were on vacation for 9 days prior to my surgery otherwise I would have driven myself crazy!

And yes- the tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness is really annoying. Its getting a little better for me now that Im trying to drink my Protein shakes.

OOOH my gosh! I have a Month and 6 Days until my surgery date, haven't even started the liquid diet, but am in the mist of all the pre-op testing, and I feel very out of it, mentally, I am to excited to focus, to nervous to focus, and then too excited again, I too, am very unproductive at work! Wait until I get to a few days before the surgery!!!! Good Luck with your last days!

I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I get banded in 13 days! I'm marking the days off of my calendar. I'll get banded on a Tuesday and I have taken Monday off just to have bouts of high anxiety.

My surgery is barely 24 hours away...

I've got an early day today too!!! Normally I work from 4:30am-1pm... today I get to leave at 11:15!!!! OK, have to go to a client to film something for our website but it shouldn't take too long. The main thing is being out of the building and away from email or the intercom paging me... I can make it through the day!

Thanks guys!!! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!

I've had this screenname forever!! I got frustrated setting up my first AOL account with all my choices taken and typed it in as a joke... and it took... and here I am... jingleboob forever! (MY bff growing up called me jingleboob once when I tried on a horrible christmas sweater that had bells on it... needless to say at 12 I had D cups and the bells were VERY unfortunately spaced...)

      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.
