July 8th!! I can't believe it is here. We are cleaning and cleaning and cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home! Trying to forget that ill be sleeved by now tomorrow! If I think abiut it too long I might cry. Scared and excited! I worry abiut my girls so much. I know the chances of me dying are slim but they are there. I know my chances of dying witjout the surgery are absolute. I almost died after having my eight year old. I developed congestive heart failure. The thought of her without a mommy was traumatic. My second daughter is adopted from China. I just love them so much and hate to put my life at risk. But in this case it is necessary. Much prayers for all going under tomorrow!

Just think, what a wonderful gift you are giving them both in a new, healthier mommy! I am so excited that I'm sitting here in awe looking at my suitcase after I started this process a long 8 months ago. It's finally here! Wow....

cleaning the house for a sterile arrival back home

hopingtolose2013

sterile arrival.???.........are you bringing a baby home??? ;)

kindof i guess...........

a new little baby tummy ;)

as far as you having feelings/fear of death???

you would have to stay inside 24/7 to make sure nothing happened to you "out there" ^_^

all surgeries have complications :angry:

things should/hopefully go without a hitch during and after WLS

"from my lips to Gods ears!!!"

you'll be holding and loving those girls very soon

as OP said - the kids and you will be so much happier, that you have regained your health, and are able to be with them in better health

good luck to you tomorrow

don't be too nervous during surgery

suggestion: how about closing your pretty eyes and taking a nap while the docs do their thing!! :lol:

speedy recovery

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life with the sleeve!!!!

      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.
