Holy Cow... it all starts tomorrow

Yikes!!!!

Its finally here. Tomorrow AM. Been getting a bit anxious... surprise!!! Ya the nightmare I had the night before last was my first clue. I was driving a car and the breaks went out. Thank goodness the phone rang, cuz I had just pulled up the E-brake and "ring-ring"

Yesterday I was having internal dialogs with my self. I was a bit redundant with the questions to myself

HEAD: "Really, Seriously...you NEED a Surgery to loose weight???

***pause*** think*** ponder***

SELF: yes I do, haven't figured it out after how many years/trys.

SELF: " you have seen others here in this forum start with the same doubts right beforesurgery...drrrr"

HEAD: "Really Seriously...you

SELF: "shut up HEAD!!!" "we have already discussed this."

I was a little annoyed that my sister is not going to spend the night tonight but is picking me up in the morning. I live closer to the Hospital than she does by a good half hour and the trip to the hospital with out rush hour traffic is an additional hour. She said when she realized I was on Clear liquids only for two days she didn't want to be around my grumpy butt. In the end I think it works out well not because I may be grumpy but I don't need to get into any sister fights smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gifLOL !!!

My furr- babies were just crying by their food bowl while I was on the phone. I asked them if they were hungry and I told them too bad if Iam on a liquid diet than everyone's on a liquid Diet!!!!

Have no fear I will feed them but they could stand to lose a pound or two. A friend the other day asked if my cat ...Bubba was pregnant? I said No HE is not preggers.

Ahhh... I feel better just rambling all my goofiness right now even thought my stomach is growling!!!!! So I have exactly 4 hours left till the midnight no more anything cut off and then around 11:30 pacific time tomorrow (4-11-11) I will no longer be a virgin-- surgery virgin that is wink.gifwink.gifwink.gif

Shoot I still have to pack!!!!!!!!!eek.gifeek.gifeek.gif

I had the same thoughts- do I really need this? I knew I did but I think most of us probably had second thoughts. I think your head/self conversation was spot on! Good luck tomorrow!!!

      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.
