Congratulations! Very excited for you! And congrats, particularly on getting insurance approval so fast. Many of us that get to move that quickly are self pay. The butterflies will wear off soon, at least until it's about time to get in for the surgery, anyway! Then they'll come back with a vengeance, I expect!

You were right about the butterflies coming back with a vengeance! Getting ready to leave for the hospital now, I feel like I got birds flying around not butterflies!

How's everyone feeling? I ended up having a hernia that they repaired as well. I'm sore and my left incision really hurts, but other then that I feel pretty good! Hope everyone is doing well, can't wait to here from 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.
