People have asked why I'm doing the surgery. Tonight I got proof that I'm making the right choice- my 10 yr old son (11 on Saturday) just ran inside and announced to me "mom I can't wait until you do all the fun things with me" I was distracted and asked what he meant and he told me that "so you can do anything with me that fun but without hurting!"

what can I say it made me happy that he is looking forward to being with me but breaks my heart over all I have already missed- and that he knows it!!

One more real motivation to keep me moving forward!!

Tomorrow at 730 is surgery - making my and my families dreams come true

Yes it went well. They found a small hernia and they fixed that too. As soon as nurse comes and unhooks me I will go on a little walk in room. Pain minimal at this point. Ate a popscicle and drinking some juice- no problems

Josee I'm doing pretty good! Been up walking twice now at 15 min each- pain is a bit more now but bearable- actually my back is hurting me the most and pain meds aren't helping that. This place is really nice- you were so right. Love the private room and the tv with the movies is great- not that I've watched much since I keep going to sleep. But nick the husband is enjoying watching and keeps him entertained

      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.
