Nice! I used to take Xanax, but I love klonopin even more! Hahahha. Although I rarely ever take it.

I don't like klonopin as much. Not sure why it doesn't work as well for me. Xany all the way! Lol.

See, and I'm opposite. I think Xanax is meant to be taken on a more regular basis, where klonopin is for people like me who take it really sporadically. But either way. Yay to getting calm when needed!

Lol I have Ativan. And Seroquel for anxiety but I never take them. I asked if I could the night before surgery and they said not within 12 hrs of go time Bc it could mess with the anesthesia. Ugh

I'm at the airport ready to depart for my life changing adventure. My surgery is bright and early tomorrow morning with Dr Alvarez at Endobariatric. I am super excited and ready with a side of nervous. I lost 17 pounds on my liquid diet and I an hoping I fit in the airplane seat without an extender... I will report back in a few and let you know if that happened. Wish me luck! :-)

. Done with surgery, I've already walked around and am doing good!

All my pre op tests are done, insurance approved surgery date 2/25. I have to be at the hospital @ 5:45 AM 1st sleeve of the day. I start my liquid diet on 2/15. I am a bit scared, nervous, anxious, excited. It also doesn't help that my wife is also getting scared and second guessing the whole thing, She is my ROCK and I need her support. She is afraid of losing me, kids losing there dad, or see me go thru this and it not work. I keep telling her I'll be fine and it WILL work, I will make it work. Good luck to everyone.

MrSleeve, I too have the surgery date of 2/25. I start my preop diet tomorrow. The closer the date gets, the crazier my loved ones are getting. Stay focused and steadfast, they'll have no choice but to get onboard.

Ha! And Ativan works for you but I don't feel a thing on it. Funny how it works so differently for others. My surgeon told me I could take the Xanax the morning of my survey. Bonus! Haha. Not sure I will have to but he said if I'm freaking out take it and let the nurses know when I check in.

If I need it I will take it. But I remember when they took my band out that they gave me some realt good stuff in my IV in preop and I sure don't want to miss out on that! Lol. Also my phone just tried auto correcting preop to Oreos. Hahahaha!

Why can't you take it but not tell them????? Bahahahaha. I'm just kidding. Now I sound like a druggie. I'm not. I only like klonopin when I feel like I'm gonna explode with anxiety. In fact, I really can't take drugs unless I actually need them. They make me sick if I take em after I'm done being in pain or whatever.

      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.
