I cleaned everything in my house, washed my sheets so I would have a nice clean bed to come home to. Packed my bag early. Definitely work with your incentive spirometer if they gave you one. Make a list of reasons you did this to bring with you for when you're having a hard time. Hydrate your skin wig lotion a few days prior (though not the immediate day before or day of according to my doctors plans) - my skin feels super dry now I wish I had thought of that one. And most of all, relax! You're in the home stretch now, get some good sleep and you will do fantastic

that is great!! Just make sure you have your liquids for when you get home too! You probably won't feel up to going to the store to shop for a few days and need to make sure you have your allowed post up products in the house! Wish you the best, let us know how you are doing!!

      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.
