Going for my pre op EKG today, hopefully it is the last test I will need to do to get the all clear. I almost wish I could get in there and get the surgery part out of the way ASAP. The actual thought of being put to sleep has started to frighten me, although I have had anesthesia before. I guess normal jitters and worries!?

Before this I never had surgery and I was scared about it to. You'll do great and when it's all done you'll feel relieved. I think I'm just a freak of nature because I haven't had any pain since yesterday evening and I only took half a hydro before bed. Slept all night too.....just gonna work on my Water today and I get to try yogert this morning. Sooooo looking forward to that :)

I just received a call from my surgeon's office. My surgery has been pushed back until June 21st, so you can remove me from the list. I can't believe that I'm not more upset. June will be here before you know it and I feel fine about waiting. Good luck to everyone having surgery this month.

I just did my pre op today my surgery is may 17. So excited and scared at the same time.

I had the same emotions after my pre op appointment as well. Right now I'm very excited but I know the closer I get to May 20th the nervousness will be at an all-time high! I'm just ready to go to sleep and wake up (with everything turning out great).

Way to stay positive. I know how you are feeling because my surgery was originally scheduled for the 29th of April and 2 wks before I was to have it, it was rescheduled for May 20th. After waiting for so long to have the surgery it kind of hurt. I even took a step back from this site (for like a minute) just so I wouldn't be hung up on the fact that I was "supposed" to have had my surgery type of thinking. Now look I'm only 11 days away! So keep your head up, continue to think positive, and you're right June 21st will be here before you know it.

Just an update. Surgery went great! No complications! I slept most of the day yesterday except when I had to get up and walk. The gas I think is what bothers me most, unfomrtable... Just started drinking an oz of Water every 3 hours for 3 hours and it'll go up more within a couple of hours. Thanks everyone who had me in prayers, means a lot!!!

      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.
