Surgery is today!! Excited, nervous but not scared like I have been for the past week. I am last on the schedule but of course they want me there by 7:30 am ... oh and I was told to bring a book <_<. Everyone take care and send prayers my way! I will be back on the other side of this journey in a few days.

I have been home since the 17th and have been having a really hard time. I had lap band removal, hernia repair and gastric bypass along with that I had alot of adhesions to work through. My pain level has gotten under control but I have been very weak with nausua and lots of sweating. I called the Drs office and they said that it was the beginning of dehydration and called in zofran and told me to step up the Water. It has helped some...I have a follow-up appt tomorrow and hopefully things with get better.

      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.
