Check at 630am, scheduled for 830am I'm the first case. Nerves are getting the best of me right now. So many questions, so many what ifs. I probably will not sleep at all tonight.

****DIVALICIOUS****

Try to sleep a bit but be sure you have all u need for the hospital. I was banded last Thursday and was nervous too--but I packed a small bag, made sure my apt was clean, laundry done, creditcards and insurance cards in purse, took a long hot bath (which you wont be able to do for a few weeks post op due to the incisions) put on some comfy pj's and orderd a movie (to get my mind off being worried)> Everything went well the next day. There will be pain and there will be gas and discomfort but if everything goes well you will be fine!! Check back in with us and let us know how it goes!!

You'll be fine...you'll never be the same again...you'll just keep getting better! Now that you've made the choice to take care of "you", you'll never look back. Good luck...!

I stayed up til 2am the night of and had to be at the hospital at 5:30am. It was easier to keep my mind busy watching movies and such than try to restlessly sleep :)

My checkin is at 530am and surgery at 8am. Not much longer now! We live over an hr from the hosp so we opted to get a hotel. My 19 yo son is keeping me laughing. I hope he is going to let me get some sleep lol Hubby is coming to hosp when he gets off of work

      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.
