Mine is tomorrow at 730 AM. Overwhelmed is a familiar feeling. I am better today about it. I bit the bullet and called my doctor yesterday (even though a saturday) and talked some things over so I feel a bit better. Wonder how many pre-surgical calls these docs get from jitters.

My dog is at his sitter. (Lol, had his hair cut today so no one would have to put up with his early summer shedding). Finishing some last minutes things at work, to then go home and install an AC for comfort post surgery. Colorado used to be so nice in the summers but now AC seems a must for evenings. Keeping busy with something constructive seems to help!

I'll be sleeved on the 13th and I was pretty much nervous about it until my pre-op last Monday. After that meeting with the NUT, anesthesia and the doctor, I just felt at ease and am ready to do this. Good luck to us all this week - can't wait until we are all on the losers bench!

I'm on the 13th. It's weird how I feel like I have so much to do but, I'll only be in the hospital for one night. It's like I'm "nesting" in preparation for a new me.

I've been on the 14 day liquid diet but today sucks !!!! I could only have 3 oz. of chicken this morning (weird that they let me have chicken today) and then it's nothing but Clear Liquids the rest of the day and I'm so excited for tomorrow to be here. This time tomorrow I'll be on the losers bench !!!

Yeah, today is no fun. I was feeling really bad before I got some chicken broth and it made all the difference. Glad I didnt have to do this 2 weeks. Uggg. Here's to tomorrow and recovery!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
