I leave tomorrow morning at 640am to fly to Puerto Vallarta. Surgery is on the 12th. I've been on Clear Liquids since yesterday morning. Super hungry and of course I have a headache, but I'm starting to get really excited. I'm a worrier so I'm convinced I'm going to have complications with my revision, but hoping for the best. I hope everyone else is doing well!!

Best of luck with your surgery. I'm a revision too, and had my surgery yesterday. You'll do fine, I'm surprised how well I'm doing. I think the band surgery was a lot worse.

December 18th in the house!!! Only required two do clear liquids pre surgery with an option to do more days. I may do 7 or 10. Scared out my mind!!!! Hoping to inspire my overweight hubby to do it too, but he is NOT amused!

Hey Tammy I am 12/18 too! If u don't mind I would like to keep in touch to see how you are doing

Its 2am. I'm scared and my stomach is a wreck just from the anxiety. I go in Tuesday at 6 am. Just afraid something will go wrong and my baby boys won't have their Mommy. I'm low risk, no health problems besides the weight. Still no rational discussion with myself seems to put me at ease. Especially when I look at their little faces. Feeling alone.

I feel the same way. I have three small kids, and my mind races sometimes with anxiety & worry. What it comes down to is that we never know when it's our time to go, but while we're here, we should do everything we can to make "our time to go" as far into the future as possible. Statistically, this surgery should increase your lifespan. Take comfort in that, and know that you're doing this for your childrens' future, and yours.

      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.
