Surgery is Monday February 10th.... yay!!! ( excited/nervous/anxious)

Went in this morning... got my pre-admitting and pre-op testing done... and all I have to do now is get through the next two days. Saturday soft foods...then Sunday Clear Liquids and the dreaded bowel prep.... Still can't believe that I got approved so fast! About 2 days after my consult the surgery coordinator was calling me with a date. No waiting...no frustrating appeals...no "extra hoops" to jump through.... BCBS got straight to the point and said yes!

I truly thank God for this.. .I have been riding the weight loss roller coaster for many, many years... I pray that everything goes smoothly and I can finally get this "extra person" off of me and out of my life. I have a little over 100 lbs to lose and I am going to dedicate the next year to reconditioning my mind, body and spirit so that I can utilize my tool CORRECTLY...and not abuse it...

Eating less with the restriction of the Sleeve.... DOES NOT mean, eating smaller slices of cake, Cookies and candy bars. What it does mean is having to make better choices to "fuel" my mind and body since my space is limited. Filling up with the good stuff... and reaping all the benefits from the inside out. A healthy body starts within!

At any rate.. I hope the weekend zooms by...then again I'm nervous...just a whole lot of emotions going through my mind right now. Ready to be on the recovering end of this... ASAP :)

Best to all of you getting sleeved Monday and next week....looking forward to all of the progress and before and after pics! :D

      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.
