Ahaha!!! I just found myself thinking "maybe I should shave my legs if I'm going to be wearing those skimpy gowns" lol silly I know!

Don't do it. I did and when you bath with the soap they give you preop it stings and causes red bumps

To Montage:

You have numbness around your incisions b/c your nerves have been cut. They need time to regenerate. It should come back in a couple of months. I do have one old incision however that some spots the feeling never came back. your arm though is a different story. Unless it's where the IV was maybe :-)

6 days post op and still on Clear Liquids and so far I haven't killed anyone. I'm gonna say this was a good day ;)

Best wishes to you guys having surgery tomorrow. May the fart gods smile kindly upon you in the coming days. I'm pretty sure I read that in a fortune cookie or something.

Surgery Tuesday and I am scared and nervous....no sleep in my future I can already tell

You are going to do great. I was exactly where you are one week ago. I had mine last Tuesday. I only slept a bit the night before thanks to Ambien...I had some trouble sleeping because I was so hungry....And nervous. Just think, in one week it will be behind you and you will feel so much better. Best of luck to you on Tuesday. It's normal to be scared and nervous. If you have any good sleeping pills I would take one Monday night.

I am so very excited to share my progress with you today. It is amazing what a difference no insulin makes in my weight loss. I weighed last on Wednesday because I had weighed at the doctor’s office on the Wednesday before that and wanted to see what a week did. I lost 8 pounds that week. I switched it to Monday today because my surgery is on Monday in a week so that way I will be on track for Mondays from now on. Long story short (I know, too late) from Wednesday to Monday – 5 days – I have lost 14 pounds. That is 27 pounds on the pre op diet in two weeks and 10 pounds prior to that for a total of 37 pounds all together. Thank you all for your continued prayers.

      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.
