I think I have been watching to many video blocs of people when they first get home. Makes me worried about getting sick from the pain meds.

Oh wow SK, maybe we will cross paths after all! I got all your emails, thank you, such good reading! I'm going into the hospital Sunday night (the 3rd) and then having my tests in the morning of the 4th, with surgery around early afternoon. I'm the first of the day, there is one other in the late afternoon. I just booked my flight today, and feel so ready to go!

Woo hoo yes we may cross paths on the Sunday. I believe that is the night I am discharged to the hotel!

Mine could be March 5th. I will know by the end of this week. Otherwise I am scheduled for April 16th. I would rather do the 5th so am keeping fingers crossed that insurance gives me the high sign by the end of the week.

Good luck everybody.

I am March 4th at Saint Vincent's Charity, in Cleveland, OH. I just had my day of pre-surgical testing and am so excited, and much less nervous. I started ordering/ buying my supplies and what not, things like a robe, gauze pads, and Protein Shakes. I know the next 2 weeks are going to fly by, but I feel like I can hardly wait to gets started and on my way. Don't get me wrong, I know it is going suck for quite awhile, but I am so ready to start this journey!

I packed this weekend - a little early (like, 2 weeks!!) and I'm ready in every way. Had to talk to family about it and they were mixed in reaction. But its out there, it had already been shared by my dad to some of them anyhow. I'm not upset they don't get it but I did get defensive when addressing.

Money is super tight so I'm hoping I won't have to spend much extra to do my pre-op budget.

My stupid worry is finding a Protein shake I can actually get down. I hate them!

      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.
