The hospital called me with my check-in time. 5:15! I live an hour away and will be dropping off my dog at the kennel so I have to leave at 4. Yay!

Also, I called the hospital and spoke with a nurse who let me know that the TWO bariatric rooms in the hospital don't have private showers. I have to go down the hall like in college. I don't think so. I did more calling and was told by the nurse manager for the hospital that all I have to do is ask for a non-bariatric room. I don't even need a bariatric room so that's FINE BY ME. I just can't believe that St. Joseph's, after MILLIONS in renovations, still has rooms without a private shower in them. ALSO, I am taking my shower chair from home because they DON'T HAVE THEM! Let me tell you, I was not able to hold my arms up and stand long enough for a shower two days after surgery.

I am packing my backpack now and cleaning like a crazy person. I've made enough Jello for a couple of days and I have tons of pudding, Protein, Water flavors and baby food. I'm so excited! This is freaking awesome!

      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.
