Just got done with last minute preparations - finished packing, epi-ladied my legs lol, last minute laundry,etc.

I usually like to come home to a nice clean house when I travel, but hubby & kids will be here all week so I'll be lucky if it's still standing when I get home, geesh.

Just called my doctor and got my surgery time 11:30am...I'm happy, nervous, excited, scared, afraid but somehow I'm at peace with my decision and I know God will make a way for to come out of this surgery successfully.

On lighter note my grandmother called and asked if I wanted to go out to Breakfast with her today. I was like I can't. She then said ok after your surgery we can go. I was like Grandma I won't be able to eat out for quite sometime and I explained the ins and outs to her and now wants to do the liquid diet thing with me to get a good cleaning out she says.......leave it to people to equate this to a good bm......

My surgery is Thursday, May 17. Won't know the time till between 6:00 & 8:00 pm Wednesday night. I am a little nervous, but comfortable with this decision. I've lost 51 pounds in preparation for this, in hopes it would make the surgery go easier. Also makes the pre-op diet easier as its kind of close to what I've been eating for several months. Good luck to all my fellow may sleevers. Looking forward to heari.g of everyones progress. I so appreciate all the support from everyone hear.

I had my surgery today. It was supposed to be at 3:30 PM, but the hospital called to have me come in early, so it was actually around 1 PM instead. I was out of recovery & in a room by 5 PM. I've been for one walk around the hall & plan on doing another walk soon to try to wake up my bladder more because the only downfall is that I haven't been able to pee yet! Other than that, though, I'm doing well. I'm glad I have pain medicine, but with the medicine the pain is bearable and not too bad.

      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.
