Oh yes very nervous, hopefully I don't chicken out lol, I had my gall bladder surgery scheduled 2 times over the past few years & canceled I just been dealing with the pain, but I'm ready for a change ready to drop this weight & get to do so much more with my kiddos.

I had the ultrasound and I don't have Gall stones so my gall bladder is safe for now. Im getting so nervous. my surgery is one week from tomorrow on Jan 28th. Kenny I think ours is around the same day. I am getting nervous. I just went to Vitamin Shoppe and met a really great employee who helped me out. We bought Isopure and calcium citrate liquid. He said Flintstone Vitamins are not that great because it has synthetic Vitamin E or something. I already bought a huge bottle so it will have to do for now.

Yes my surgery is the 28th also. I haven't bought anything but some broth yet. Lol I go Thursday to meet with the dietician & do pre op tests. My friend had surgery Friday with the same dr I'm using he came through good & already lost 10lbs. I'm nervous but hoping for the best.

How awesome to have a friend with same doctor do it too! My friend is doing it but not until April. I did all my pre-op. I'm ready, I think.

Good luck to all you January newbies, I'm scheduled for Fed. 17th and am getting very excited. I found a great site for Vitamins and the prices are amazing and they even have done bariatric specific stuff (pipingrock.com) check it out and I will be anxious to see how you do :-)

      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.
