Hey all, I've created a topic in the "post-op" sub forum ( February 14 post-op losers) for those of us who have moved to the other side AND for all of you soon joining us! That way we'll have a long term place where we can ride this journey together.

Hi Erin,

A bit apprehensive really. They have changed my surgery time till lunchtime. I am still first on the list but it starts later. Apparently i will be in HDU overnight too which i was not expecting. All a bit discombobulating!! I will post on here as soon as i am reunited with my phone and iPad.

Thanks so much for asking. I hope you are ok and now having more to eat. You sounded like you were doing so well, you and Kim.

I will be back here soon nd thanks again

Claire

I started my new job today and had a great day. I was taking too big of a sip and that was why I had all the discomfort.

I am thinking of you. You'll do great. I can't wait to hear more about your journey!!! It is a lot to take on and I know you're nervous. But the new healthy you is going to be worth it all!

Claire- sorry your having to deal with the schedule change. They cancelled mine today due to my doctor having a personal emergency. Offered another doctor in the practice in his place, so still on for 11 in the a.m. Many blessings for a safe surgery, I'm ready and hungry after having clear liquid all day.

Well, I got the news I was hoping and praying I wouldn't get today. I am not a match for my brother so I can not be his bone marrow donor. I was so hoping I would be. Luckily we still have three other siblings to get tested and hopefully one of them will be his match. Very down this evening and I come home to my husband making white chocolate, macadamia nut, coconut Cookies. What torture. I broke down and ate two. Now, I am leaving the kitchen for the rest of the night.

      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.
