2 DAYS!!! Ahhhhhh!

Tomorrow at 3:30 I find out what time my surgery is Friday morning. I'm going to pick up some stuff tonight I want for the hospital and hopefully pack too. How is everyone else getting ready?

I know. Is this really happening for us? Seems like a dream! I leave tomorrow morning for Vegas and meet with the surgeon. Then it's last meal time. According to the nutritionist your liver doesn't have time to expand so quickly, so I get a last meal. Looking forward to that just as much as the surgery!

It has seems like a dream up until today. I'm really feeling the pressure today. But I am excited too. Mostly nervous about the healing process. Afraid of strictures or leak. Ive lost 10 lbs in the last 10 days. That keeps me going. :)

So I have arrived at hotel. We are going to go shopping and try to relax a little ( if I can) I was pretty emotional this morning saying good bye to my kids. Basically up and down feeling good, scary, excited, I know my surgery is first thing in the morning. I cannot wait to just be in recovery and know I am ok, sleeved and using the tool to change my life.

      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.
