I am planning on July 28th. I'm trying to get my flight handled and then I am calling to schedule surgery. However I have talked to Trish and she said the 28th is fine. Hopefully I will still be there to meet all of you! I would really like that! Best of luck on your surgery... See you next month!

Anyone else extremely nervous besides me?

I'm not nervous yet. We are going to the beach 2 weeks before our trip to Mexico, so I think my mind is just occupied with something else. Once we get back from vacation I think I'll probably start to freak out a bit. I try not to think about the surgery, just the end result. To me the surgery is a negative, but the end is a positive. Positive thinking is always better than negative. I'll deal with the negative when I HAVE to. Maybe I'll get lucky and I wont have to until I'm at the hospital :rolleyes:

I just wanted to ask....Are any of you changing your mind about surgery since we got the disturbing news about Gibgirly? Just wondering...

No, not changing my mind. Just a bit more worried & nervous. I feel badly for her family, but at the same time I have to think of the situation as a statistic, not a personal loss. We all know the risks going into this and we just have to have faith that what we're doing is right. It did make my husband want to speak with Dr. Kelly before we go, though.

      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.
