Im first for mine as well. Have to be there at 5 ( in 3 hours) surgery at 7. But I'm at a hotel 3 miles away from hospital and can't sleep.

Hey I'm up and going. Getting ready still going to the freaking bathroom. I will be thinking of you and praying all goes well for both of us.

You will both do great! Tomorrow am will fly by and in the afternoon we'll be scootching over so 2 more fabulous ladies can join us on the losers bench!

Just try to remember the nurses, your pain pump, Chapstick and walking are your new best friends for the day. After that at home it's pain meds, slowly sipping Water, drinking your Protein, walking as much as you can, and Chapstick for those dry lips.....oh, and us, we're here for whatever you need! :)

Don't stress, it's liquid and goes right through. If you "over" drink anything, water's the best thing to do it with.

      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.
