Well, only one week out from my surgery now. I'm not feeling nervous or even excited yet. It's come up on me so quickly and I have so much to get done beforehand. Having a full time job, going to school part time, three kids and a house to get ready for company, since I have family coming out to help me out post-op, has got this girl a little over tasked right now. School has me more stressed out than anything right now. I'm really hoping not to fall behind over the next couple of weeks. At this point I just want to get the next few weeks over with and get on with my life.

I'm also a week out and starting to get completely stressed. I also work full time. I feel like I have to have my house perfect for while I'm

Gone and when I get home. My hubby wants to stay at the hospital with me so I have to make a schedule for our son and all that good stuff! It gets stressful!

Did you have a lot of pain right after surgery? Did you follow a strict diet before surgery? Did you ever cheat a couple of weeks before surgery? Sorry to ask so many questions. My surgery is on October 29th and I am starting to get very nervous and excited! :)

I have about an hour before leaving for the hospital and my surgery. I was doing okay until my oldest daughter (9) asked me why I had to go. :( Anyhow, pray for me and the surgeon today. I'll let you guys now how it goes. Already really thirsty and so not looking forward to the gas pains that everyone talks about.

We are surgery buddies! I don't have to be there until 10:45 am though. I would have rather gotten it done earlier. Prayers your way.

      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.
