Don't worry one bit, it was much more simpliar than the crown work I had done. It's a very simple, easy to recover from surgery. I wish you all the luck in the world. Just stay positive and dont waste time worrying.

WoooHooo congratulations!!! You will be so glad you mde this decision!

Any advice? Just to get all your shopping done now, so if you don't feel like going when you get home, you won't have to. Buy up some Liquid Protein, I used Zero Carb Isopure, it has 40 grams per bottle. The taste is a little iffy...but you adapt, and it really does make you feel better, and less hungry to get in your Protein. But up some broth, and Jello, some juices...get all your liquids.

Have laundry done, so you will have plenty of comfy lay around the house clothes for a few days.

Have food for other members of the family, handy that THEY can prepare, so you don't have to.

Mainly just follow the Dr.'s orders, the rough part of post op dieting etc. will be over before you know it!!! And life will begin changing soooo soon!!

Skip the big huge meal the night before that some people do, some are saying it is part of what causes excess gas pain!

Good Luck, hope all goes well, and you have an easy surgery and a quick recovery!!!

      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.
