Spike, I didn't want staples and made a big point of it. I just scar easily and drove my surgeon crazy with the no staples stuff. So much so, that I had it written on both of my hands when I went into the operating room, LOL!

No offense intended to innocent bystanders!

Ignore anything you don't want to read here, okay?

If I'm dealt a blow in an open forum, and my name is used in someone else's posts to a third party, it's pretty likely I'm gonna want it solved here. Why wouldn't the rest of you want it cleared up for all to see?

I never in a million years thought I would be targeted and I hope those of you who are wanting it to be overwith (that includes me, by the way), are never targeted.

It will be over when no one mentions it again, okay?

Piece of cake, Bettina! You can do it!

I go in waves, nervous---ready----nervous----ready...lol

Physically i am ready. I went out and bought all the post op stuff I was told to get. I only have to do one day of pre-op liquids...but I think I will try a few days pre-op..to get a jump start. The doc was impressed that I had lost weight since the last visit, so maybe I can wow him this time.

I was gonna do a last supper...did anyone else do that??

Ah, a last supper. I went to see my mother this past weekend to tell her and my sisters about the surgery. And to have my mother's cooking for the last time in a long while--rice, homemade bread, anisette cake.

But surgery's tomorrow and it's all Protein Shakes today.

Anyone else hear that the company that manufactures Carb Solutions is going under? Is the product still available anywhere? It's the only one I've tried and like it very much.

One more pre-op doctor's appt. tomorrow. I have to see someone about anemia, and then I'm hoping I'm good to go.

Of course, I also woke up this morning without a voice. I have a little over a week to get rid of whatever is causing it this time (happens to me a lot - usually acid reflux & allergies).

I don't know if I'm more nervous about it happening or about it not happening.

      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.
