Loretta I completely understand. I have not packed either. But have done my nails' date=' laundry, cleaned and shopped for ANYTHING I could think of that I would need to eat coming home. I will be coming home on soft pureed food. Which I guess should be happy about. I am so excited and inI awe, but ready. Took my god awful pictures for comparison tonight. Oh my lol! Good luck Loretta and I will post before and after surgery!!![/quote']

I'm still not sure what to pack.. I just want to pass out at home be taken to the hospital then brought home after its all said and done--

I guess the reality of two days is finally setting in? I did buy some gasx strips since I've seen posts about the bloating, and the doc gave me a script for milk of magnesia. Great bloated and full of crap just want I didn't need after the two week diet!

That's funny... I'm going in tomorrow morning at 7:00 and I'm still not packed.. I'm thinking my slip on sandals, warm socks, robe, a book, and a few toiletries... Sounds good :)

Good luck!!!

I'm new to this forum and wanted to joing the March group! I had surgery on March 20. So far things are going great!

For all the nervous people - my experience was so un-nerve racking leading up. I walked in to the operating room, chatted with the anesthesiologist, the surgeon. Luckily I felt relaxed and I think it really helped me. Just take a few breaths and know that everything will be great!

      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.
