Today is THE day...

I've never been nervous about a surgery before, but I'm freaking out a little about this one. Don't know why. Maybe because such a massive change goes along with it. Maybe because my stress level was thru the roof because of a close friend that flipped out over me having it yesterday. Maybe cuz I just don't feel well having been on this pre op diet. Whatever the reason, prayers please for calm and for everything to go safely and smoothly.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Nerves are normal at this time. It is a life changing moment, a change for the good.

Sorry your friend wasn't supportive. Thats why I only told those who I new had my back, no matter what their opinion was.

You'll do great, just follow the rules.

Keep us posted

      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.
