Ahh today I am going to be a busy bee lol. Surprisingly I fell asleep at 7pm and woke up at 4am today I must be really nervous lol. Today at 10am I have my ortho appointment, 11am getting nails done (YAY) then at 1:30 I have my PRE OP where I meet with my surgeon, get blood tests, talk with the coordinator and buy Iron and Vitamin C (already have my multi, Calcium, vit B 12 & BA choc rasp truffle chew mmm). I have anemia and need the extra Iron and the vit C will help the absorbtion. My goal weight is to be 215 for the surgery and I really hope I got there, I was 217 around New Years... I skipped dinner and I am super hungry now so I am going to grab a Premier Protein shake- 30 grams of Protein I really hope this keeps me full *fingers crossed*

My surgery is on Wednesday the 25th and I have 4 weeks approved time off. My damn coworkers- they keep pushing to know what surgery I am getting and now they want to know what hospital I will be at so they can visit me are you serious?!?! I mean come on people how nosy can you get! Even my manager said that he wants to visit. At this point I am going to my job and let everyone know that I just want my family and want the respect to be left alone. I've been at my job for five years and we all know each other and hang out off work like family so if this was happening to one of them yes I would be concerned but respect their decision of privacy. But my manager joined a year ago and this is private. I need to tell him that again. I think he told my coworkers I have cancer and I hope that's a rumor. It's just- today I'm full of so many feelings and needed to vent. Only my parents, brother and sister know so this is hard to really have the people that surround you DAILY not know. I do hope you all have a great day/evening.

      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.
