Well, I must admit to getting a little nervous. Tomorrow, 3/21 is the day. I will have a band to sleeve revison and my gall bladder taken out. I pray I will have as good of an experience as most everyone else on the board has had. I can't wait until I am losing. Today I am on liquids. My last big meal was at Waffle House with my granddaughters. I wish it could have been better but I love their BLT sandwiches. I need to go to Walmart later today and get some gasx. Is there anything else I need to take? Prayers and support requested. Thanks to all up to now.

I am saying a prayer for you Cathy. I will pray for you tomorrow too. I would take chap stick and slippers with you. Your lips get SO dry. When you are up walking around (do that as soon as possible) you dont want to walk the halls of the hospital barefoot and I found the socks they gave me a little slippery. Ear phones and some music was helpful at night when I was trying to sleep and my roommate was watching tv. You know I tried to have a last meal...Outback and I couldnt eat much so it was kind of a waste of money. I think last meals are over rated. Remember to walk walk walk and sip sip sip.

See you on the losers bench before you know it!

Blessings,

Hey Cathy!!! Big hugs for your surgery tomorrow. Everything will turn out excellent and you absolutely *will* have as good an experience as others (such as me) who have had the revision.

Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it. :)

      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.
