Tuesday is approaching quickly and I am both excited and nervous at the same time. You would think this would be nothing considering this will be my fourth major surgery in 6 years. The three days in the hospital should be a snap considering I spent the entire month of October in the hospital after extensive spinal and neurosurgery. However' date=' I am still a little apprehensive about going into the hospital for surgery again.[/quote']

This is my 4th major surgery in 6 MONTHS. I had gallbladder removed. 2 weeks later my left ovary ruptured and was removed, 2 weeks later I had a full hysterectomy. We've got this. We can do it together. My date is 2/25

I'm getting sleeved Feb 20 the just a few days away. I'm starting to freak out, I have to admit I did cheat on the pre open diet and had a small sandwich on Friday :( I don't know what to do! Did I ruin everything? I am back on Protein Shakes, Jello, tea, Water and broth.< /p>

I am set for Wed Feb 20th and am starting clear diet today so I will have plenty of time to get cleaned out before taking the calcium citrate on Tue. This was a tip from an old GP and is helpful. Am looking forward to my new reality!

My surgery is almost here. It was moved from the18th to the 19th. Can't hardly sleep now as it is. Tomorrow I get to have one small Breakfast and then I'm on Clear Liquids for the rest of the day. I also get to do the magnesium citrate. Woo Hoo! Not.

Surgeon said on Tuesday I will be hooked up to 2 IV's since I did clear liquids and the magnesium citrate the day before. Good luck to everyone!!

I am 2/19 too. A bit nervous and excited too. I have a lot of family support.

I too have a lot of family support and it is invaluable to us all. My sister had vsg on 11/7 and has lost 40 and feels super. Mom mom had ruin y bypass in 2006 and because she initially lost 100 pounds no matter what she ate, decided she could eat whatever and how much she likes so has regained about 40 pounds. I hope we can inspire her to reform and keep on the straight and narrow (and thin!) path ourselves.

Thanks ladies I was thinking the worse not sure why he had me on a 14 day diet I'm 5'1 214 lbs. Doc said each practice does it different, different preferences. Doc said I didn't have to do the all clear liquid do three Protein Shakes, Jello, sugar free pops, broth, Water, crystal light which I hate so don't do. For the broth I did my homemade veggie Soup with tofu, drained it to get Protein from veggies and tofu. Those packaged broths only have 1gm of protein.

I don't have the support of my family they are in Florida I am in NY. My husbands family does not know I have not told them I don't want them to know because they are a bit negative I told a friend of the family who I thought would be supportive and was horrified by her response.

I regret telling her anything I ended up telling her I decided not to do it, joined a gym and doing herbalife just to get her off my back.

I hate lying to people this is not me, I feel ashamed as if I'm doing something shameful. My sister and friends from Florida support me they will help me get through this. My husband is also my rock he is behind 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.
