I'm scheduled for tomorrow at noon. A little nervous - okay alot nervous. Vomited this morning from nerves but feeling better now. I was home all last week because of the hurricane - that made keeping to the liquids a lot harder. I also quit smoking. I have been drinking Atkins shakes, but need to get Protein Powder (I think). the post op instructions from the hospital are not written very well. Very confusing.

I'm scheduled for the 9th at 11am, ya I'm getting nervous! Iv never had any form of surgery, never been put under, and the kicker is iv yet to receive my final sleep study results so my Dr can write the script for my machine! I hope this don't throw a wrench in the mix, I hope there's some kinda alternative plan or something cause everything is set, paid for and ready to go

I had my pre-op visit today. I had to take a test to see what i know or don't know about this whole process. I made a 100 LOL! i had to have blood work, EKG and chest Xray . last week I had to have an upper GI. I'm all ready to go now. My Dr. said that he has NO mortalities or leaks. I asked for a 40 bougie instead of the 32 they usually use. I read that 40's are less likely to leak. I'm getting my wish . i feel very confident of my decision, my surgeon and the hospital and will leave it all in the hands of God and my friends praying for me. I pray we all have smooth sailing !

IM GOING CRAZY!!!!

lol...

But yes, im going crazy, more so that my ride is going to be late, or that im not packed yet, or so many other things that have nothing to do with the surgery itself. Gotta be up at 3-4ish and be at the hospital at 6am.

Last Minute Stress... YAY!

Thank you! Still debating whether its worth it to sleep or not... if i lay down to sleep ill waste a few good hrs trying to get to sleep and wake up all tired, if i dont sleep at all ill be okay ( i work at night so its normal for me) but i feel like itll make the recovery not go as smoothly...

Decisions decisions...

      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.
