I don't know what else to call it other than nesting...I feel like I did while I was waiting for my babies to be born!

I have a list and am slowly tackling closets and cabinets and junk drawers and baseboards and under the beds... Nothing is safe! I just told my hubs tomorrow he can either take the kids and leave while I clean, or I'm putting him to work too!

This house will be spotless before surgery (and before my mama gets here!). :)

Anyone else go through this?

I sure did! That is what I called it too. I felt like I wanted the whole house clutter free and organized for my new start in life.

I did the same thing this past Sunday because I had surgery on Tuesday, that way the house wouldn't drive me crazy when I got home from the hospital and then I wouldn't try to clean when I really shouldn't....

Yes, exactly!

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), I still have 6-8 weeks before surgery...so I have plenty of time to scrub scrub scrub and organize organize organize!

yep - I cleaned, shopped, drug out the boxes of too-small clothes in case I couldn't lift for a while and I needed them, paid the bills, got dentist, nail, and hair appts out of the way, stocked up on movies and books, and trolled this forum non-stop!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
