What time is your surgery? Mine will be at 8am, so that means I must get up at 4:30, take an hour to drive to hosp, arrive 6:45.

Having warm broth again, for dinner, nothing past midnight. Jitters. I am not backing out now, not after 2 weeks of just shakes and Jello. I don't even know how long surgery takes, forgot to ask.

Good luck.

Mine is at 630 am. The surgery should last about an hour a little longer if needed, no more than an hour and a half. I am soooo nervous about getting this done..I have had many surgeries before, but nothing as life changing as this....I just cannot wait to be post op....I don't know if I am going to be able to sleep....keep me updated on how you are doing...best of luck to you!

Congratulations to you both!! If you haven't taken your measurements & before photos, be sure to do that today! You will want them later. :thumbdown:

BTW, I posted about what my surgery was like at the beginning of my blog, in case you're interested. It went really well and was much easier than I had expected. I hope the same is true for you both. Congratulations -- you have so many great things to look forward to! :)

Best wishes,

Catherine

      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.
