Guys please keep up the prayers. I woke up so sick still and one of the PAs I work with said my tonsils will probably be too swollen for them to get a tube down my throat tomorrow. I'm feeling so defeated. If they have to cancel, this will be the second time. I just want to lay in bed and cry.

I am sitting in the hospital with my beautiful gown and fabulous socks in place. Still not feeling crazy nervous, but would love to get my drugs started. :)

If you're that sick it'll be better if they have to push it back. You don't want to add any complications to your recovery. Maybe the PA should write you an Rx for a zpak or something. Get better soon sweets!!!

I understand how u probably feel. I know u know things work out exactly the way they should and we have no control over that. But at the same time I know u really want this and u want it now. The great thing is, either way - whether u have ur surgery tomorrow or next week - it will happen. Look at it this way, it's been how many years of being overweight and not completely happy? So what is one or two more weeks? U will get there, don't stress too much. Praying for u surgery buddy!!!

Well I have less then 18 hrs until I have to be at the hospital and guess who decides to show up. Apparently aunt flo didn't get them memo that I'm having surgery tomorrow. Ugh. This isn't going to be pleasant.

      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.
