I am sure you will be fine. The last thing I remember was they were hooking me up and one of the guys in the OR started cracking jokes with me. Relax, take a nap and then sip sip sip and walk when you wake up. Good luck and I will be sending prayers and warm happy thoughts your way

Oh... I know the feeling!! Scared and anxious. I had mine also Jan 8!! Anesthesia is great. You will do fine. Just ask for pain meds!! They help so much and expect gas pain and tenderness!! Morphine works on it well!! I threw up the first night and it was not that bad.. they have medicine for that!! It will be over before ya know it, remember to take walks and pass gas.. small frequent sips! Good Luck and you will be soooo glad you did it!!

      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.
