Hi All, The closer surgery gets the more nervous I get the crazier my thoughts become. One of my cats got sick and is in the hospital something with his GI track. Now that has me upset enough as is but then I start to wonder if this is some cosmic message to me. Fortunately I had a bit of a wake up because my pre op ekg was borderline showing the beginnings of problems that are probably obesity related but I have no idea how I am going to keep my sanity between now and Tuesday.

I think the majority of us were super happy one minute and crying the next ... for the entire last week before surgery! : )

Normal stuff. I was so mad at myself when I was at the clinic and prepped for surgery, that I was crying and getting all worked up. Fortunately, a gal I met at the clinic, also having surgery, talked me down and the dr gave me a dose of happy juice in my iv. Definitely something to ask for!

I have zero regrets now! The sleeve is an amazing tool : )

You will make it! Hang in there!

That is so funny! I'm up, can't sleep because I'm over thinking right now about my surgery on Friday...it's kinda freaking me out, but when I got up and felt the pain in my knees I know I'm doing the right thing.

      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.
