I am officially psyched an ready for tuesday! its the BIG day! 3 shakes today an tomorrow. plus Water....I am soo ready to start this I am almost leaping for joy! went to kroger stocked up I should be good for a while I have cleaned out cabinets so there isnt no temptation the hubs tells him we are in this together an he is cut way back as well (we'll see how long that last)..:) Im expecting the good an bad...Im not knew to surgery Iv had about 8 or so over the yrs my last being last Nov had to have tonsillectmy an nose fixed deviated spectum I believe is the correct term..Im 50 and the tonsils were BRUTAL!! if I can make it thru that I can do this! I have a high pain tolerance but you just never no..my surgeon has developed a topical cream that I use daily for poly and fibro pain..he also has a formula for surgical wounds it has 5 or 6 script ingrediants an he said to bring one so he can apply while Im in surgery when its done. he said it would cut down on the narcotic use. being a lupus and other muscular diseases I have your typical hydrocodein, darvocet, percoset doesnt touch my pain. so he is giving dillodan (not sure if spelled right) to bring home. his nurse said no cathater which I was tickled an relieved I always end up with UTI after one so Im not having that issue. been slowly packing my bag the past few days Im not taking a whole lot just necesities for sure my phone cord. chap stick for sure an a face mask for the cpap that they provide. slippers an I am taking pj maxi to wear an a pair of pj pants that has loose waistline. I have been trying to figure out how to log on my phone here so I can keep updates before an after an I cant for the life of me figure it out. so far I can only respond to others instead of post new thread Im going to work on that ..anyone have any suggestions? I even bought a can of unflavored whey Protein to add to my Water to make sure I get the required amount. I have learned so much on this site that Im not going to worry about getting EVERYTHING the first few days I have seen how it can go so Im just taking baby steps an ease into this...thanks for all the input :) Im going to try an find the thread with the hospital stay list in case i forget something. my dr said I shouldnt be in there no more then the 1 night. he did say if Im nauseated he would keep me in another night. but he said normally its just within a day an half an most go home. try an keep everyone posted...:)

      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.
