I am scheduled for tomorrow. Surgery is also supposed constant at 9:30 have to be there by 7:30

This is hanner2009's mom...she had the surgery Monday and got home tonight about 6pm. She's having a rough time and alot of pain. Please say a prayer for her. I pray all of you are doing well also. Good luck to you all...

PS, it won't hurt as bad if you can sleep in the recliner or sit half up on the couch with pillows and sleep. Also, use a heating pad on the drain area...if you don't have a heating pad...put a towel in the dryer and let it get warm...fold it to keep the heat in it and place where it hurts. Get up and down like you are 9 months pregnant...it won't hurt as much. All this is my experience. Hope it helps.

I mean magnesium citrate. My husband is flying home right now and I am trying to take care of my 3 girls while prepping for surgery tomorrow.

I got home Wednesday night and I am just now updating you all. I'm sorry for not getting on here sooner..I just didn't want to get on when I felt bad and possibly ruin someone else's excitement because I was having a hard time. Anyway, my surgery went well and my dr is very proud of the success I've made this far. I have to say though, I am, too!

I'm so proud of taking that leap of faith and going through with it and coming out on the other side a whole new person (or so it seems).

Good luck to all who are considering this surgery and thank you to everyone who has been here for me and all the other sleevers before me for support. It means the world to me.. :)

      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.
