Sleeve day is Thursday. Eeeek!

I made a whole list of chores and such to accomplish this weekend. So far, I'm only about 20% done so tomorrow is either gonna be a really long day, or some of these things just aren't gonna get done!

Getting my bags ready - hospital bag and bag of stuff to take to my parents house. I figure I'll let them pamper me for a day or two before I'm home alone.

Took my "before" pics today. Wish I did this 53lbs ago when I started so I could see how much I've already accomplished, but better late than never, right? Taking the pics made it feel so 'real'.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FN HAPPENING!!! YAY!

I'm excited/nervous/scared/anxious/happy - all at once. It's an interesting emotion!

liquid diet is going well. All my hunger went away when I was taken off my bp meds last week. The very next day it was gone, hasn't come back since. I have no idea if the bp meds had anything to do with it or not.

Looking forward to getting the surgery, getting through my stages, and actually having something TO CHEW ON again. :)

Happy Saturday, yall!

Good luck! I understand about your list not getting done. I had a long list of things to get done this weekend and maybe 20% got done. I do have tomorrow!! I can only imagine the list prior to surgery (mine is scheduled for 06/04/13). Best of luck and keep us posted!

I'll be posting my progress, for sure! I'll have my phone handy in the hospital, pretty sure I'll be on this forum if I'm not sleeping or walking around the unit. :)

Good luck to all of you with your upcoming surgeries!

I am up tomorrow morning also, I can relate to it finally feeling REAL! I have been talking about this for months but it seemed like a million years away. Now it's less than 24 hours and I'm nervous, excited, and ready to be over the surgery hump and back to healing. I have a history of blood clots so I'm on the shots and will be edgy until 2 weeks have past, then I'll know the greatest danger is over for me and I can enjoy moving on! Cannot wait for this next phase of life!!!

I was driving this morning, and my brain was working overtime, worrying about the surgery tomorrow, pain, and all my random thoughts,etc..then I turn on my radio and I heard the Swedish House Mafia song saying "Don't you worry, don't you worry child, heaven's got a plan for you." I thought, I am all good, and ready to do this, and the big guy upstairs has my back too!lol I had to share it with everyone!

      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.
