Tell your mom the surgery has a mortality rate that is less than gallbladder surgery!

With my parents' date=' I focused on how this will help my overall physical health. Arthritis in my knees, acid reflux, thryroid issues, etc.[/quote']

Thanks Raven21

Today I finally had a last hurdle, my stress test. I have my appointment with my surgeon on Thursday and a date for surgery -Dec 6. I didn't have my sleeve class yet with the dietician and nurse but it will probably be next week. I am debating whether to pick chocolate or strawberry for the Protein Drink they supply for the week before surgery. Mostly I am wondering which I would be least likely to get tired or sick of.

I am a list maker and planner. So I was thinking if we brainstormed maybe we could help pre and post op be smoother. So here are some of my thoughts, please feel free to add to it.

So what have others done to prepare for surgery? What Protein drinks have you tried? What 'gear*' have you thought about getting?

* drink shakers, food measuring, smaller utensils, exercise equipment

Considering we are getting surgery in Dec, how are you prepping for your holiday ahead of time with shopping?

How are you altering your schedule and when do you think you will be doing most of your regular obligations again?

The people you haven't told yet but are planning to tell, how and when are you going to tell them?

It received some great advice from LovelyPea. I told her that my mother was nervous about me having surgery, she told me to remember you're going this to improve your health. She suggested taking photos of myself. I took the photos with bra and panties on all view. All I can say is OMG. I've never taken a full length picture if myself; seeing this really gave to the perspective I needed. It's about improving my health. Dec 10th here I come. I can't wait to take photos along the way. Excited!!!!!

      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.
