I'm so excited its finally almost here!! I will be arriving at Baptist Hospital in Nashville tn at 5:30am! Surgery is at 7:30am! I'm so excited but also nervous I will be off work for 2 wks so that's exciting lol. The only thing I'm rly not excited about is being away from my fiance for a few days! He just got hired on at the nissan plant and is on probabtion so he can't take off work so my parents will be taking me and I will be staying with them for the first couple of days! My fiance and I have never been overnight away from each other so its gonna be strange I know we can get thru it cuz we are a strong couple its just going to be different. I will try to post tomorrow evening when I get home!! Wish me luck everyone! I'm so excited to finally be on my way to be happy with myself again!

i tried staying with my parents but their hovering got on my nerves! so as soon as i knew i could be off the pain meds long enough to drive myself the 20 minutes to my apartment, i made a run for it!

I know that's wat I keep thinking is I'm prolly gonna want my fiance to come pick me up Friday after he gets off. I would much rather be left alone lol but I know in my first few days with me trying to drink thins it wouldn't be a good idea. But I alrdy told him I didn't care if he had to work Saturday or not he better be there to pick me up Friday lol

      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.
