Hi everyone!! Actually in pre-op just hanging out. IV is in met my nurse and anesthesiologist, saw my doctor coming in but he says he will stop by again. I'm good so far. I did get heparin prophylactically to prevent blood clots and I have special hose on called TED hose to promote circulation. I'll keep everyone posted. Prayers to everyone. Heather, Chris lives down the street from me! Small world, ey??

I will be interested to hear how your experience went as well as the others on here that got it done today. I go on Wednesday...! I'm in the same spot as Heather, I have a cold and hope it's not a cough on Wednesday!

Let us know how it went and how you are feeling!

      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.
