All the April 9 people ready for tomorrow??? I'm excited and nervous and overwhelmed. And starving hungry! 5 days of the liquid diet is enough. I really feel for the people they have on liquids for 2 weeks. By this time tomorrow, I should be getting settled into my room post op. And then the real work begins! Best of luck to anyone taking the plunge tomorrow. :)

I am ready for my surgery today. Got a great night sleep (worked all day cleaning and running errands that I was exhausted!) good luck today!!

I have been floating on air all day. The coordinator called last week to say my insurance approval was in and that she sent my packet to the surgeons office. The surgeons office called yesterday to make my appointment and I was able to get in this morning. They called this afternoon with my April 9th date!!! Woooooo hooooo!

Good luck today. You'll do great. It's a breeze.

I check in at noon, Pacific time. I'm starting to get super anxious. Seeing the kids off to school was kind of a bummer.

Checked in and waiting with my family for now. Next step is down to holding and then the OR. Trying to not get too nervous. Any of the earlier people out and up yet?

Hi all, I had my surgery yesterday on April 9 too. I am in Australia so although the same date, i am a day ahead.

I can't believe how good I feel. I finally have had some broth tonight after having only Water for the last 48hrs. Who knew salty warm Water would taste so good!

All the best to you all - am going to sleep again now as my pain meds are kicking in. To better, healthier and thinner us!!

      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.
