Hello all - I started Clear Liquids yesterday in preparation for the day before prep (and we all know what that is!!) I didn't sleep very well at all last night. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon and then watched a movie until 1:45 am. I tossed and turned when I layed down and flip flopped all night. I think I'll take some Tylenol PM tonight to make me sleep better. I can't believe I only have two more days. My drive to the hospital will only take 10-15 minutes, tops, so that will be good. Good luck to those being banded today :D

Good luck ericsmom! My drive to the hospital is only 10-15 min as well! Aren't we lucky?

I feel your pain about not being able to sleep! I'm so stressed out about the surgery because its my first surgery, that sleep is a precious comodity. Tylenol PM would be great right about now.. I think I will take it if I ever have time to sleep!

I'm really excited about the surgery but in shock that its only 2 days away, and so I'm kind of numb about it. I've been showing my stress in odd ways like overeating when I KNOW I'm full. And I'm not eating bad foods right now- mostly soft foods like seafood, but I'm eating alot of it when I eat. I'm going to go on liquids for most of tomorrow, and then POW- I'll be at the hospital! Tomorrow is the first day I can sleep without an alarm clock in a month, so I'm going to sleep as long as possible! :D

Best wishes for a quick recovery!

Loriely, I thought I was going to be the only one on July 6. It is fast approaching! I'm pretty nervous. The only surgery I have had was tonsils when I was 12. I don't even remember it.

Well Good Luck!

I can't believe it's almost time...

I'm so hungry! I was doing fine with the Protein Shakes, but now that I'm on clear liquids, I'm feeling "icky" if that makes sense. Very sluggish. Tomrrow I have to drink that Magnesium Citrate stuff - eeewww! Should be an interesting evening.

Good luck to everyone else - You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers :D

      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.
