Hi everyone! I'm Emily from SC. This is my first post. Your stories are really helpful, so keep them coming. I'm patiently waiting for 6 am to come. Any last minute advice? Nerves are good, so far. What last minute questions did/would you have?

Thoughts & prayers for a quick recovery and great success!

No last minute questions, hopefully they have all already been answered.

You might want to take Chapstick with you. After surgery your lips are unbelievably dry.

Just keep your thoughts on the prize and refuse to think what if's.

You'll do great!

Keep us posted

Congrats! Is your surgery outpatient? For me, the time went by fast and I was back home in my bed. Think positively! Have some sf popsicles ready for tomorrow night. My throat was very scratchy and a bit painful for a few days. The popsicles were wonderful! chicken broth was great, too. Do you have a heating pad? That helped a lot! We'll be looking for your next post with an update! Remember to drink Water and get your rest!

      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.
