I had my pre-op appointment today. Had to sign papers, they checked my current medications and gave me a prescription for what I need on Thursday It included a patch to put on tomorrow night to help with nausea. . Took my blood pressure and drew some blood. The surgeon came and talked to me and showed me on my stomach where the incisions would be. I guess one more day of low carb stop eating at 6:00 tomorrow and nothing to drink after midnight. I had lost 10 lbs on the 2 week pre-op which is great. So just getting excited nervous have to put my bag together tomorrow. I have to spend the night because of sleep apnea. I stopped at costco and I now have Protein and Vitamins. So I think Im Ready!!!

Good luck to all having your surg tomorrow. So exciting! Tomorrow I have my preop class to meet with all the people that will be involved in my care while admitted. I get to ask all my unanswered questiones and get all the info for the big day. Today was my second day on my preop diet and wow Have I been grouchy... lol my poor family! I think I am detoxing off the sugar and carbs and I've also had a bad headache all day. If anyone has some good questions that maybe you wish you asked but didn't I would love to hear them so I can ask and be more aware of everything. Thank you in advance

June 24th.....I'm just so excited. My two week pre op starts on the tenth I'm already not hungry though after I tried what shake I'm going to try. Its Atkins French vanilla and delicious. Even brought body fortress whey Protein Powder, unsweetened blue diamond almond milk, Tyson grilled chicken for my salad dinners, lol. Calcium and gummy vitamins, I think I'm about ready for now.

      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.
