Tick tock ... I will be getting on a plane in less than 8 hours. Ohh it's getting real. No nerves just excitement. I must say that the bowel prep sucked.

Goodluck

Got my approval today!!!! I am so stinking scared!!' now its real. The prep diet was not awful. I am just going nuts in my head making sure I want this. 99.9 percent wants it I should say I 100% want it. I am scared of life after there is no turning back.

What are your thoughts?

I felt like that too. I push to get it done fast and once it was here I was like wow I am really leting them roll me in here to surgery. I think almost everyone has this feeling but when its done and you see the pounds fall off and know your more health its worth it.

Thanks. You gave me an idea: sucking the BBQ Sauce off of a rib. huh? I might have to do that after surgery. BBQ and movie popcorn are two things I will go to my grave eating, just not a lot after May 14.

Your doing great with out sucking the sauce off a rib. You can make it :) May 14 right around the corner

Good luck to all your ladies on your way. I just said to my husband this time next Wednesday I will be in San Diego too - you are closer than me Sharon - I have butterflies and I'm excited. I love travel - being an Australian living in Canada, but I have also lived in New Mexico too - I love seeing new places and different people. I know it's surgery - but I like to be able to say - I've been there!!

This has become a huge group of people - keep us posted when you can.

Surgery Date: 17 May with Dr Garcia - WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

Glenda, as a Brit living in NJ, I also love travelling! I am secretly looking forward to being in Tijuana & hope I get some time to shop a bit too!

I am getting mighty nervous right now though, thinking this time tomorrow I will probably be out of surgery & hopefully sleeved! Yikes, scaring me a bit!

I am not scared of the afterwards, having to drink tiny sips & eat tiny bites. I am scared of the surgery itself & I hate pain, I am a big baby!

Sharon - shame we won't be there at the same time. I will add you as a friend and we can keep in touch. We speak the same "Queens English" no matter how long we have been away. Yes..... Australians speak English - correctly hahaha! I get hell here in Canada about my accent - but secretly all Canadians want to be Aussies (joking).

I am tough, had 3 children all natural births, lap band 2003, removal of lap band (worst ever hospital pain/visit) this January. I have tattoos on my toes (which hurts as well). I think all pain is forgotten to be honest and it will only be for a short term. When you live with constant pain - like many people do - then it's a different matter. You will be just fine - keep asking for stuff for the pain if it get's too hard - that is what it's there for.

Sandra - good luck for tomorrow xx

      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.
