Just 12 hours until surgery. It almost doesn't seem real. Ready to be on the other side. My pre-op diet was pretty lenient so it wasn't terrible. I hope there will not be too much pain after.

I am looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing after surgery!

My surgery is tomorrow also!!! I have to be there at 730 am!! Getting nervous a little!! Good luck to everyone :-)

I started my pre op today..it was very hard and my head hurt most of the day. I am very stressed right now and its hard to focus on being excited about the surgery.

I was like that the first few days also but it gets better. I'm 4 days out from surgery still nervous but physically feeling better. I think it was sugar withdrawals and the drastic change of eating. Good luck

Well tomorrow marks a week since I had surgery, and I have to say I am feeling pretty good. Im still tired every now and then, but over all i haven't had any issues. All the stari-strips are gone... and my tummy still looks like it went a few rounds with a boxer, but over all... this was cake. Mmmm cake.

Tomorrow I see my Doctor for my postop visit, and im guessing we will move on to mushies.... :) pureed Soups and smoothies also SF Popsicle have been my meal of choice when I want to eat. I can get a cup of stuff down at a time, just have to remember to eat slow, The burping kills. OMG.

Also, it still is sore to take a full breath, expand lungs to full, cause of incisions still healing, and maybe the other stuff that got moved in side during surgery.

I have also been sleeping on my side,kinda front since Monday. Found a heated throw worked good for the gas pains,if I wrapped it around my left shoulder, and over my tummy.

Ooo and haven't taken any pain meds (or 4 advil at night per my doctor) since Tuesday.

I hope you are all doing well, and if you have questions ask=)

      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.
