Keep me in your prayers tomorrow. 8 :00 am

Exited about my surgery aug 8th @ 730 am but I still haven't packed I have no idea what to take...any suggestions

I have heard the following :

chapstick,

comfy clothes for the ride home (nothing tight)

Pillow for your belly

flip flops

gas x strips (i would check with surgeon)

phone charger for your cell

facewash

these are just the things I remember. I am going to try NOT to overpack as it is in my nature to pack for 10 days even if it is for only 2 LOL

Thanks Daddy! I already know I am going to the best doc for me. I knew he was the one before I even met him at a seminar. Just a strong gut feeling. I am super excited.

Again I wish any and all the best of luck tomorrow. I will be sure to update when I am able and can think straight.

How the heck am I suppose to sleep tonight? Have to check in by 6am! It's only 8:45 on Sunday night and my head is racing a million miles a minute. Looking forward to being on the "other side" and in recovery.

Good luck to everyone!!

Well I went and took a hot shower last night before bed. It really soothed the body out. Crawled in bed around 11 and had the alarm set for 530. I wanted time to get things packed back up, straighten/freshen up, and do what I needed on the computer and still be ready by 7:15 for when Rosy comes to pick us up.

I have to say I tossed quite a bit last nite. I even ended up on my tummy a few times which is odd. My tummy must know it will be awhile before it can do that. I remember seeing the clock a few times during the night, but I feel rested. I actually woke up at 5:10 and decided wth. So I got up, dressed, and trying to be somewhat quiet since Hubby is still sleeping.< /p>

I am anxious about today, ready to get this started. What does have me nervous is the pulling of some teeth tomorrow. Now that scares the crap out of me. LOL. But I know everything will go fine. Today I will take my first seat on the loser's bench forever. I asked that my name be permanently engraved there. No more wiping it off from regaining weight. Today I am making my walk to the Loser's side with my head held high!

Best of luck to everyone who is also joining me on this day! May our surgeries fly by and our recoveries the easiest thing we've ever done. Everyone will be in my thoughts today.

From 4-6:30 am, I woke up every 30 min....I guess I am anxious about this morning. I am ready and just need to pack my toothbrush and I'm off to the hospital. Check back in later....

      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.
