Absolutely! Are you getting nervous? Have you had to do a pre op diet?

Bolingpins & ke-sa - wahoooo! You are even closer than I am! Are you getting nervous? How about the preop diet - did you have one and how's it going for you? Have you started packing yet?

My surgery is 7/7, what's a surgery buddy

A surgery buddy is just someone or a group who chit chat throughout the process and can share tips, how you're feeling, etc... Just people moving through the process and able to bounce their experiences off of one another. Nothing like being able to talk to people in the same position you are. ????

Ohhhhhh. Im new to the forums that makes sense. Absolutely I am game for a few buddies. ???????????? I am a little nervous. Im wondering what to bring to the hospital.

I think jeans would be ok for surgery day but sweat pants or something loose on the way home. Your thoughts

I'm wearing a sundress so it's nice and loose...and probably flip flops so I can just slide my feet in without having to bend forward to put shoes on.

I am a July 8th surgery date. And I am very nervous about it. I'm older [68] and I wonder if I am going to be able to break all these old habits of mine. I want to succeed and finally get my self healthy. I only have to do 1 day of Clear liquids on Monday, so I know I can handle that. But I am ready to get moving and get on with my new life. I would love to be a buddy to anyone who wants to follow my story. Hopefully I can give some valuable info. on my daily experiences. Either way, good luck to you all and I will be watching for your up date.

Wow for the 7/7-ers we have less than 24 hours. I report to the hospital at 8am and go in for surgery at 10am. By this time tomorrow it will be over. I have a ton of stuff to do.

Pack, not sure what to bring but I am packing: cell, charger, cpap, go home clothes, no Water tooth cleaners, mouthwash, shower gel and deodorant. Did I miss anything?

Get my family ready: cook, braid my daughters hair, get her prepped for school tomorrow, braid my hair, clean my house and fix my garden. Should I leave something out?

What's everyone's prep plans.

      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.
