Oh my goodness jlmckee. I'm so with you and well said. I just got the phone call from the hospital. My surgery is at 7 am. I have to be there at 6 am. It's finally here. I'm just now drinking my Magnesium Citrate. It is disgusting. Like really, really disgusting. I got lemon. I could barf but that's ok I'm doing this and I am sooooooo ready. I won't be sleeping tonight. I never sleep anyway but I know it won't be happening tonight. I'll be up trying to distract myself. I'm glad it's first thing in the am. Less time to chicken out. I've told so few people about it that it's easy to pretend it's not happening but now it's here.

pls be sure to keep us all updated. Speedy recovery for you:)

Will be thinking about all of you as you journey into health. Prayers for a flawless surgery and full recovery.

It is worth it! [2wks post op today and aside from food restriction, I can't even physically tell I have had surgery...most energy I have had in years]

Kenny... Enjoy your new beginnings.. Take a heating pad to hospital.. Really helped me with some of the discomfort from the carbon dioxide gas's as they desipate throughout you! Walk walk and walk!

I see most of you who have surgery tomorrow are still on here tonight:-). Good luck and God bless!

It's been a week since my surgery, and I still can't believe I did it! We are strong and can do this. My thoughts will be with you.

Kenny W,

I'm not on the losers bench yet but I'm sure it's totally worth it. I'm on my 3rd day of a 10 day liquid diet. They say it gets better, I guess I'll find out. I'm scheduled for Feb 5th. Good luck to you, you got this.

      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.
