I'm scheduled on August 13th. Already filed my insurance, had my intake interview with the hospital and talked to the anesthesia people. Have a few more appointments with the doc and my intro to the aftercare program.

Then I'm ready! I can't wait!

Good luck! What time is your surgery? Mine is 7:15am so I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I'm totally not a morning person, but I'm glad I'm first. The doc says I will be finished by the afternoon and ready to go home.

Oh that's wonderful! I have to call Sunday to find out my time! I hope I'm first thing in the morning only because I don't have time to sit around and think about it! I'll make myself sick! I'm so excited and scared wrapped into one ball of mess over here! I'm not worried about the pain! I just can't stand to feel sick! So I'm praying that I'm not one of the people who feel sick and keep vomiting! :( I'd rather have pain honestly! How about you? Excited?

Hey sleevers, how is everyone doing?

My surgery went really well. The doctor found a esophageal hernia while he was in there and he went ahead and fixed that. I had no idea I had a hernia at all! Glad they got that taken care of.

Am relaxing at the in-laws house right now with some quality Jello.

How did everyone's surgery go?

Count me in as an Aug 13th sleever!

We leave for the El Paso airport at 10:30 am to fly home.

Whenever I swallow, I feel a little pain bubble about 3-5 seconds later. It's minor but it happens every time. I also developed a sore throat last night. I don't think it's from acid reflux as my wife you I trawling with me caught it too.

I am sure it's all normal. These next few weeks are gonna be tough, but sooooooo worth it. :)

      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.
