Nerves aren't a factor yet. I'm sure I will feel differently when I check in at 5:30 in the morning. Today I am doing straight Water until midnight when I can't have anything else. I kid you not I'm sick to my stomach. The smell if food is making me sick :( I'm so ready!!! Kinda scared of how ill react from anesthesia since this is my first time going under "/

It was rough, not gonna lie I did cheat one day and had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap. Then felt really bad and went back on. I was allowed to have crystal light, Jello apple sauce, icees, pretty Much anything Decaf, and sugar free. And two Luna bars a day. I lost about 9lbs during the two weeks even with the cheat

The anesthesia is the easy part. Most doctor's will say something like count backwards from 10 to 1 when they inject you but you'll be lucky to get the word "ten" out. The meds go in the via IV. Then you just wake up...you'll be cold but they have blankets that have been warmed. Don't forget to ask for a small pillow so you can cough. The coughing is normal but hold is tight to your belly then cough. It will still hurt a little but not as bad without the pillow. Good luck...and welcome to the club. :D

You're going to blink your eyes once and it will be over! Anesthetized sleep is different than normal sleep because you wake up with no concept of elapsed time. Best of luck, we're all on the loser's bench for the winning team, rooting you on!

      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.
