As I look back it does seem that the past 6 days on pre-op has flown, but my days themselves seem to last forever. From the moment I wake up til I'm trying to fall asleep. Time drags for me. I can't find enough to do in the day to make time pass

I like to think as myself as excited, but when reality hits I get a little uneasy. How are you mentally preparing yourself? For some reason I am nervous about how I am going to handle the minutes and seconds before surgery. Like waiting in the OR for them to put me out. Idk why this is the thing my brain is dwelling on! Lol. I am almost hoping they put me out and THEN take me in to the OR. Wait, do they? Because that would be great xD

I just don't think about that part of it. My biggest fear is the IV. I faint. They scare me. You know what my surgeon said about that? She laughed and said "that's ok, you'll be lying down when u get it" lol.

I could worry about it now, but me worrying isn't gonna do anything to change things. So I don't. I'm sure as I get closer, like the day before, I'll start to get more nervous and worry, but I'm gonna just let the excitement in for now.

Yeah, I'm still far too excited about all this to be nervous yet.

I feel bad now Bc I get to eat lean Protein n veggies on my preop. I ate some shrimp and some spinach. But it's such a tiny amt I'm allowed that it just makes me want more. It's almost worse than saying I can have nothing

Don't feel bad. I'm barely above the BMI cutoff to have surgery and today my doc told me to not lose anymore weight. He said I could eat a regular dinner tonight and tomorrow but I didn't do it because I don't want to. Weird, right? I am afraid it will make me overdo it. So I had an extra greek yogurt and will add a fourth shake to my days. Ugh.

      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.
