My surgery is Tuesday at 7:30am. Have to be at the hospital at 5am. So ready for this.

Too bad we aren't at the same hospital. We could race around the floor trying not to tangle our IV's.

Why do they want us 2 and a half hours early. Bad as catching a dang plane.

I hope so they can take there time on the the IVs to get it the first time, I don't faint. But I'm what they call a hard stick. It once took them 17 tries to put in an IV. I was not happy.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I'm looking at the beautiful full moon outside thinking who we all walk and live under the same moon no matter where we live in the US. If you have a chance take a look at the moon tonight.

Surgery is Monday. Wow I'm getting excited.

Glitter, KS, Super F and SaraJ how are you guys doing? Getting excited too?

The moon is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm good! I'm bored of my liquids, but I'll power through. :) I spent the evening at my dad's figuring out what we're gonna do after surgery, if I'll stay there or come home. I decided it'd be a game time decision. One friend said she would have been fine on her own at home (I do have a roommate so I'd only be alone while she's at work, and my dad only lives 2 miles away) and another friend said she needed her hubby. So we'll see. My bed would be nicer! Haha.

I can't believe 5 days from now I'll be on the other side of this!!

How are you??

Oh hell no. No way. I could not do it. I'm getting light-headed just thinking about it.

The two hours go fast. They weigh you, make you change, ask another million questions about your health history, start your IV...I couldn't believe how fast it all went.

Happy V Day, All!

What time is your surgery on Monday, Sher? I have to be at the hospital @ 11:30 and am supposed to have surgery @ 1:00.

I'm getting a bit nervous again. Today sucked ass. Everyone is eating chocolate and I'm just chewing sugarless gum. But then I think of why I'm doing this and how I got here. It's such a mind game!

Hey Glitter take deep breaths and relax. I have to be at hosp at noon and surgery at 2.

Earlier got an email from a lady who was sleeved today at same Dr's as me at 12:30 and in her room at 3pm. She said the only pain is a minor pain by an incision that I was told would be the one they move a muscle to take the incised stomach out of. She said she is doing good. Ice chips and was waiting to walk. So it's not all that bad after surgery.

Glitter think of how great you'll be looking next Valentine Day from not eating chocolate.

We all can do this.

Happy V Day, All!

How are you??

I think you would be fine at home w/your dad on call. Your own bed would be the most comfortable. See how you feel after surgery. Maybe your dad could come over during the day to check on you?

Yes time is going fast. I'l have my computer with me so I'll try to post the night of surgery = 3 night from now. WOW time is going fast.

We can do this!!!

I got to add Protein back into my life today. It was rough. The dietician suggested taking some shake and eating it with a spoon out of a shot glass. She said eat slow and take a minimum of 15 minutes. Took me almost half an hour and I feel sick! Blah!

Jen, have you tried adding the unflavored to liquids like crystal lite or Mio? I think it tastes ok but it smells funky so I'd keep it in a shaker bottle. That's another way to bump your protein.

      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.
