Ok October 2nders! One week away! Who's getting nervous /excited? My preop has gone better than I expected. My work had to adjust my break schedule a tiny bit so I could eat at different times cause I was getting 'hangry' lol. I work at a afb taco bell, so all the good smells weren't helping. Now everything smells weird to me.

Just think, some of us will be waking up from surgery this time next week!

My pre-op diet is going well too. I am only on low carb diet. I have lost about 6 pounds so far. I'm pretty happy with that. I know you liquid pre-op-ers will shatter that! Can't wait! just 6 days until my pre-op. I have a swarm of butterflies in my stomach constantly though :unsure:

I'm getting very nervous. I've not had surgery before so I've been thinking can I just live with this weight. Ugh!

Feeling so much better today! Very nervous still, but my husband gave me that calmness I needed last night. He also told me to stop watching the you tube video of the procedure. Has anyone else seen that? 7 days from today.

A week away and I am so excited! My surgeon only has a preop diet 2 days prior to surgery. My birthday is Sunday so I am going to enjoy it to the fullest before I start my liquid diet. So ready for this journey and glad there are others on my day. Where is everyone from? I am from Charleston, WV, having my surgery in Huntington, WV.

No preop diet since I was fast tracked to surgery. Anyone heard how awful post op co2 gas was. I had it after gallbladder & it hurt for 3 days, no incision pain, awful co2 dissipating into skin and shoulder. Miserable. People say oh walk it off. It's not that kind of gas, that suggestion is useless. I looked at sev other surgical sites, no recs.

      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.
