I remember feeling nervous and scared too. I was excited to have it done, but scared at the same time. I think that's kind of normal. My prayers are with you. As a matter of fact, here it is. :)

Heavenly Father, I ask you to watch over emartini as she has her procedure today. I pray that you will give the surgeons the knowledge and skill that they need to make this operation a total success. I also ask that you give her a speedy and full recovery. Amen.

Wow, you're off and running already. Be careful not to overdo it. I know for the first 2-3 weeks after my surgery I got tired really easily. Just make sure you're getting enough rest so that your body can heal. :)

      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.
