Before

Thought a beer sounded good! Lol

I wasnt all morning because I was super busy but now that it is lunch time I'm a big time anxious. By this time tomorrow I will be in recovery. I keep reading this thread by a woman screen name Iggychic and she is going through some horrible complications. I understand that is the exception, not the rule but it still scares me. I so hope I am doing the right thing. If for any reason I have to out of work more than 25 days, I'm screwed because I dont have disability insurance and I only have 25 sick days saved up.

Went to Walgreens this morning. No spray, no liquid generic Tylenol but got gas ex strips. Yesterday got some tums. I know I'm going to be scared to death tomorrow. Last time I felt like this was the day i moved and it was the worst experience. Total feeling of impending doom.

Enough negative! I keep looking at before and after shots and can't wait to be an after! Down 20 lbs as of last night! Fat pants are a bit loose! Woo hoo! Anyone going to be on here tomorrow during recovery? I will be as soon as I am able.

Welcome. I just remember someone saying that you can't drink anything until later in the day or the next day this was a lifesaver. I'm doing fine of course nervous and anxious. I'm not a morning person but I plan to make it to hospital beer 530. At Walmart I bought more broth and got the vegetable broth haven't tried that one(low sodium)bc hbp. Going to Ross to pick up long lounger because that's what I will wear home no pants. I found a front close bra.

      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.
