Tomorrow (1/5) is the day...hard to believe I started this Quest almost a year ago and the date is here.

Nervous and scared of making it through surgery, after that I think I'm gonna love this.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and sharing of ideas. I've learned a great deal in the few weeks that I"ve been here, You all have been lifesavers.

See ya all soon

BigDawg,

So excited for you. You are at the threshold of changing your life.

Don't be surprised if the first week or so is a little harder than you expected. It may be fairly easy or it may be hard (I was one of the unfortunate ones that had a rough 1st week.) But, know that around day 4 or 5 things change for the better.

Keep us posted on your surgical progress and how you are doing.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench!!!!!

I am sleeved and I am home!

a little rough here and there, taking the liquid vicodin and getting rest.

Everyone has been so supportive, it's a great feeling to have so many people that think you're a brave soul for doing this, I guess it really is a bigger deal than most people think.

Looking forward to posting in the POST op forum now..8)

      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.
