What's the colon cleanse that you guys are doing? bottles of magnesium citrate?

That is what I had to do. It upset my belly drinking it and took 3 hours to kick in and then....up to surgery morning I was still going lmao

T-12 hours before my surgery. Excited and nervousness at the same time. Had my "last supper" now finishing packing for my night in the hospital. Any last minute tips? Wish me luck :)

My surgery is on the 19th at 2pm. I cant believe its so close. Im anxious, excited and extremely calm at the same time. Crazy, right? Im in NY and having procedure done by dr vohra.

Bandman I know exactly how you feel. My surgery is on the 19th also and I am feeling like you do. Heck I am so off today thinking about Tuesday I painted one of the small bedrooms in my home. I wish I could sleep right now.

My surgery is on the 19th too! I've been freaking out all weekend. I'm starting my 24 hour liquid fast, and I'm starving. I guess this is when the mental strength needs to kick in, because I really have no idea when I'm going to have any nourishment in my stomach again. And I'm suddenly scared of everything. I keep imagining how scared I'll be when they give me the anesthesia, and I'm so scared of pain and nausea when I wake up. I think I need that sedative NOW!

      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.
