Good luck!!!!!!! Will be over before you know it. Just remember to walk all you can, speeds healing and help you get rid of the gas they pump in you. Pain should be very minimal.

Congrats to those who got their dates, hang in there fit those on the pre-op diet and let's do this for this having surgery soon!

I had my pre-op appt Wednesday, blood work, ekg and final weigh-in. I was of by 1 kg so I basically made goal.

I have surgery in 5 hrs. I tried to sleep but no dice. I had to take a double shower with Descutan an antimicrobial soap and will take one more before I leave to the hospital. Also had to give myself a heparin shot, the needle was nothing but the injection burned a little. Packed my bag, journaled and now just trying to sleep and wait. Oh and I will take 5 prophylactic antibiotics before I go too. I'll only stay one night and visiting hrs are dumb from 3pm-7pm. So I'll be alone majority of the time.

Not really afraid, just anxious to get it over with so I can start healing. I'm hoping pain won't be too bad as they don't give an Rx for pain meds, it's Tylenol after discharge home. Got all that, lol! Sorry it's so long...

      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.
