Chapstick for sure!!!! And some music, it relaxes you, a good book, some post op information, loose clothes to go home in, and house slippers to walk in.

I'll be praying for you. Tips for the hospital is to walk when you can. It helps with the gas and stops you from getting real stiff. Good luck tomorrow.

Chapstick! Lol....that advise was so useful when I went in! Thanks. I would also recommend a list of the reasons why you came to this decision. I had to wait 4 hours in pre-op and the nerves really got bad.....but I whipped out my list and my fat picture and it helped. Just a little thought....lol. I was SUPER scared so if you are too....this may help=]

      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.
