Today is the day for me!!!!!!

I have to be at the hospital by 9:30. I was still in shock when I called them yesterday to get my surgery time I thought they would say - you are not on our list for surgery....but they didn't :)

so excited & a little nervous but mostly about the IV! How silly is that? It usually takes 3-4 times for anyone to stick me before they finally get it in. I have bad veins....

anyway - I will keep you all posted!! YEAH!

I will be in Stratford, NJ with Dr. Balsama!

Dawn

Hopefully I will do my ticker soon...

Dawn!

YAY!!! You are on your way hun!! Don't stress the IV. Hopefully you will get a great nurse that will get it with the first prick. Big hugs!!

June 22, Kaiser South San Francisco, CA.

I can't believe I've got 19 days left! I even got a countdown app on my phone and I look at it every day and get excited.

I'm starting to get really nervous now, the clock is ticking.

Hi my fellow Jewels!

My surgery was changed from June13 to June 20th... I was a little disappointed, but got over it really quick! :D This gives me an extra week to get my mind right and now I can have BBQ with my family for Memorial day instead of starting my preop diet! I am just so glad I am still a Jewel!

One week from tomorrow. /bites nails June 16th. Anyone else on that day?

I had my postop/preop visit today - I had the band out a week ago yesterday, getting sleeved a week from tomorrow. Good news is that they took me off the liquid preop diet and told me to just eat 1200 calories per day or less of whole foods (no processed, no fast food etc). I guess my liver look pretty good in person and so I don't need to shrink it. Whew. I was really struggling with the liquid diet. Which kind of worries me for after surgery.

I am getting both excited and nervous.

      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.
