Okay Amy I took your idea about the personal thread, what a great idea. Ok well I got my pedi today with a friend of mine and it really helped me to relax. I didn't get the neon color I had talked about because my friend has breast cancer that went with me so I got the breast cancer pink on my toes for her. Then we spent the rest of the day together and it was great until I got ready to leave. She is the strongest person I know and has been through so much in her life but when she hugged me good bye she started to cry and then I started to cry. I told her I would be fine and not to worry and that I would be back before here next Chemo treatment. That was the first emotional breakdown I have had. Actually, I was only crying because she was crying, that's what good friends do right? Well anyway big girl panties are on and I am going to bed(or try anyway)so I can sleep for a few hours. I have to leave the house at 3:20am eastern time. I will keep u guys up on my journey as much as possible.

Safe travels and chin up! I'm getting tiny freak-outs already and I hope they don't get worse (sleeved on the 28th). It feels like waiting for your turn to jump out of the plane hoping the parachute is packed properly. So anything and everything you tell us helps the next folks in line calm down a bit. Thanks in advance for your report(s)!

I will try to give as much detail as possible. I know that I hung on every word of somebody that posted lots of detail and it really helped to keep me focused.

Ok so I had my alarm set for 3am but for some reason I woke up and quickly looked at the clock like my alarm didn't go off and I was going to miss my plane. IT'S WAS ONLY 2:17. My heart has just calmed down. I can't even be mad that I woke up early because I was so greatful for the sleep that I did get and for not being late. Well guess I will start getting ready. Yay it really really here!!!

      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.
