It's getting real people!

In exactly two weeks to the hour, my life will change!!! I'm getting so nervous and excited and scared and happy and sad and crazy all at the same time. Anybody else feel that way??? I meet with the surgeon tomorrow and will start my 2 week liquid diet in the morning. I've got all my questions ready for him, I think...I'm going to ask about my cpap machine, gas x strips, visitors age (I have a 6 year old who will be devestated if he can't come see mom), what meds I need to bring to the hospital, do they expect someone to stay with me overnight...anything else I should be asking?

I still don't feel like its real!! I started my liquid diet Sunday. I have a 5 yr old. I didn't think to ask. She would be upset if she couldn't!

I have 3 kids, my youngest is 3 they let all of the kids visit but of course my 3 year old wasn't able to be in the room (although they snuck him in..for a few minutes to let me know they were there, and I just walked over to the visiting room:) and finished my visit.

(also when I went to my surgery, I didn't bring my cpap, and now I no longer use it :)

congrats to you guys and wishing you all the best!!

I wish I had bought my cpap because the one I used at the hospital was so uncomfortable. Mine has a ramp feature which starts off low at four and gradually goes up to 16. The hospital one started off full blast and was leaking air. It was horrible.

      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.
