My surgery is the 26th and I start a 5 day Clear Liquids with 3 days of protien shakes allowed. Sat & Sunday are "bowel prep" with no protien. I have my Preop on Wed and it is the same day as my 1st day of preop diet. I guess it will keep me too busy to care about eating? Especially since I will spend about 3 hours in the car that day going back and forth. The nerves have arrived today. I am trying to stay busy and distracted. The hubby and I are cleaning the house top to bottom and I am painting some projects for Christmas. I have never had ANY type of surgery before except my wisdom teeth so I think that is what is getting to me. In the meantime I have a knotted ball the size of a bowling ball in my gut from anxiety. The surgical process has been so easy for me to get through it is rediculous. I had my 1st appointment Oct 25th but I had already done all my bloodwork, xrays, and psych. I went to Nutrition on Oct 28th or so. I went to preop class and was submitted on 10/29 and approved on Nov 2nd. I already know my surgery is at 935 am on Nov 26th. Maybe I am just waiting for something to go wrong since it was so easy? I know that losing 5 lbs for me is a struggle so I can't even picture losing more than that. Or my nerves might just be shot? The only problem I have had is finding ways to make the protien taste better and finding one I can stand. I finally did that...What is my problem????

Omg!!! I did it. I had surgery today at noon. I expected the worst and cried some before it because I was so nervous. Right now at 11pm is the most I have been alert and awake. I have been sleeping like crazy and a few hours ago I had some juice and broth which went down ok especially cuz I was hungry and dry throat. I also toke a short walk which was hard because I am super dizzy. The pain was bad at first but has gotten easier and is tolerable. I'm a big baby and for me I was surprised the pain is not bad. Nothing that the meds could not fix. I no longer am scared and I feel good and don't regret this!! Thank God. Now I am finally excited!!! :) Wishing everyone the best.........

Glad you are doing fine.

To all those getting ready for surgery as a day four post op patient and nurse stay on top of your pain and walk even when you don't want to. When you walk don't hunch put your shoulders back it hurts but stretch out those abs it only gets harder later! When you wake up if you are like me I immediately had regrets the pain was so bad for about ten minutes then after that its been super great no gas pains or anything but walking and sitting in the chair is key.

      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.
