I was scheduled for the 25th but just got a call from my surgeon and he has a family emergency. Looks like I might be on the schedule for the 27th now. It is actually a blessing because we are expecting bad weather on Monday which was making me wonder how the roads would be on the way to the hospital.

Anyhow, I wish all of you the best on the 25th. Ill be joining you on your journey shortly after :)

I am scheduled for 7am Monday! Just finishing my house cleaning, had my "last meal," and now am enjoying the cuddle time with my 3-year-old twins. They go to my aunt's tomorrow night and I won't see them again until Wednesday. I'll miss those sweet faces.

The doc said no lifting anything over 10 pounds for a month, so it'll be hard, but I've been training them over the last month to climb in and out of their car seats, the tub, etc.

My 8-year-old son wants to stay at the hospital overnight with me to take care of me. Sweet boy. I had to explain their policy that he couldn't, so he's planning to be my big helper when I get home. :)

About to pack...I have a purse and that's it! Lol. Toothbrush, dry Shampoo, chap stick, face cleaning wipes, minimal makeup, kindle, and two pairs of undies. I'm going in wearing what I'll wear home, a sundress and flip flops.

Let's rock liquids tomorrow and may we all please have uneventful surgeries Monday!

As long as you don't have a fever you should have no problem. I had my pre-op on Thurs with a week-long cold and very congested, and my surgeon didn't even bat an eye.

I'm not a 25th, but a 26th. I started my liquids today. I am so nervous and excited. Starting out at 5'3, 265. I know it's not going to be easy, but I really hope it's not as bad as some of the things I have read on here. I am fairly active so I hope that helps. :) good luck to you all I can't wait to hear and see pics. :)

      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.
