I have preop appointment today. I am excited and nervous. My husband gets home from his travel on Sat and I go in bright and early on Monday. I am hoping, like everyone I have an easy recovery. I have 4 days my calender is clear, then a few things each day I hope to be able to do such as see my son's first night game for football. Nothing major but important.

Good luck! My surgery is also on Monday. My friend arrives Sunday and she'll drive me to the hospital, etc, and is staying to help get me past the first 4 or so days. I hope our recoveries are textbook and speedy! :)

Yay for you!

Tthings like the football game are do-able for alot of the people sleeved, but just be sure to not have to park too far away, and maybe have an escort through the crowd to be sure no one accidentally runs into you. Consider a folding chair and make arangements to sit somewhere away from the stadium seating??? (when I hear of large crowds I keep thinking about someone bumping into my tummy).

      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.
