I'm sore as Hell' date=' but it's done. Being model patient, in spite of the pain I feel better than anticipated. Still NPO for now, but even the tiny bit Water I swallowed from the swab was felt in my pouch. Odd feeling.[/quote']

So glad all is ok!

It's 3:00 am and I'm laying in bed starving. This sucks!!! Yesterday morning when the alarm clock went off I was dreaming that I died during surgery. Woke up with tears running down my face. Tonight while I was laying in bed with my son before tucking him in I realized he was snuggled up against me crying. After much discussion I realized he's afraid this surgery will change me 'and I love you just like you are now'. He's okay' date=' just scared (I got divorced when he was tiny so it's been just the 2 of us forever...we are really close and he is a bit on the sensitive side). HE wants mommy to be healthy too so he's on board, just worried. This sucks. So ready to get the show on the road.

I think I can,I think I can, I think I can......

You're doing so good on the preop. I'm so proud of you! I've been having dreams about it too. Your poor boy, it's so hard for them to understand completely. How old is he? I have 2 boys, 5 & 6. They know I'm having surgery to help me get healthy and help my back & knees. I didn't give them the ugly details.

Come on Monday! I can't wait!

He's 8. He was in kindergarten when I had my band put in, I had told him I was going to have surgery to make me healthy and didn't tell him the surgery date, he just found out when my dad picked him up from school. It went pretty smoothly. He was calm and cool this summer when I had the band removed. That was an urgent surgery so I only ha 5 days notice it was coming out. My rny has been scheduled for 6 months. This time he's had too much time to think about it I think. So glad we are almost there!!

Ohhh! I understand my 9 yr old is the same and I have been in and out of the Hosp over 30 times this year. He is always worried and asking if I am ok every 30 min.

All we can do is comfort them, have a plan in place for the Fam to handle stuff and have affairs in order. Think positive.

Did surgeon preop- and hospital labs!!. Can't believe my preop diet starts Sunday (and I'm excited about it), and that in 12 days ill be sitting on the losers bench!

We will do this! We are all here together and I'm glad I found this place. I've noticed my girls, ages 9,7,6- are starting to get apprehensive, they know something is up but I haven't told them yet. Going to wait till Monday I think!

      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.
