I don't know. I'm waiting on the surgeon. My IV pump is driving me insane right now, some alarm is going off and they won't come in and turn it off. I'm about to throw it out the window.

Just found out my surgery was moved up two hours which is wonderful because I was really not looking forward to having dry mouth for that long and hearing my stomach gurgle. I told my 9 year old today in a very generic way and she is ok with it. Thankfully! Usually she is clingy with me and a drama queen. Now I have to pack, take my before pictures, and take my measurements. My stomach is a mess! I feel kind of weepy and nostalgic and sad. I guess just saying good bye to my old life that I was comfortable with is hard even though I know the future is going to be so much better!

Good luck on you journey to your new life

Yea those things can definitely drive a person nuts.. I used to hit the silent button if they didn't come soon enough... they would yell at me for it but sorry I can not & will not sit & listen to tht noise for forever. I would hit the silent button & then press the call button like crazy lol!

I can't find a silent button, I wish!

I have to stay again tonight. After everything UHC put me through for the last two years I'm kind of glad they have to pay for an extra day, the bastards.

Cracked me up about UHC having to pay for an extra night. Hope tonight is better for you and you don't throw the pump out the window.

Well I'm all kinds of funny. My husband and j have a weird sense of humor. I asked him yesterday if it would be ok to say to my surgeon "it was a pleasure having you inside me." He said no. Lol. Hey it could have been worse!

OMG, you'd fit right in with me and my BFF. We've been friends since college and have the same type of sense of humor. Hope you get to go home today and feel better!

      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.
