Congratulations to you! My surgery is scheduled for the 23rd (next week). I'm so nervous but I'm so excited to have those moments. One of my mini goals is to be able to wear the dresss I wore to my rehearsal dinner for my wedding. It's been ten years and I loved that dress. Yes I've kept it all this time in hopes I could get it on. :) I can't wait to wear it again. Serioulsy, I'm so happy for you!

I told him about the esophagus spasms I had being I also had hernia repair. .he said it didn't surprise me..it's major surgery. ..all nerves are detached..so he gave me some lidocaine to spray way back in throat to numb..but I told him the first 5 days were worst an there easing up..much better..after day 1 since I still couldn't sip bc of pain spasm I told my surgeon I wanted another day of iv fluids didn't want dehydrated so I spent 2 full days..don't leave hospital unless u can down liquid...yea it's going to take around the waking hrs to sip but I no some drs are fast to get u out like u no wat. ..talk to him be for ur date an then remind him of wat u bog talked about..believe me they don't remember they do this soo much!

      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.
