Yep I'm tomorrow too! Getting very jittery--not just the conscious "oh my gosh, it's tomorrow" kind--but he physical my heart is racing like I'm on caffeine kind. I'm going to a show with my daughter this afternoon. Hope it helps me to relax a little! Good luck to all of us!

I bet so!! I'm so big on taste, if it's gross I gag!! And with a new stomach surgery I don't want to gag!!

How is your pain level? Are you feeling better? It's always better to be at home, no rest in the hospital!!

I am felling alttle better, pain is at 2-3 and gas level is at a 10 walking every 5 hours to help...I had my liquid meds again and it does taste better with a little bit of pudding. So that helps. ????

Good luck to everyone who's going this week!

I just went to the Vitamin Shoppee & had an awesome selection! I also found that the prices were very comparative to big box stores. Plus I also found a product which will be great when I am onto "food" so I can get more Protein that you sprinkle on or in anything & you get 10 grams of extra protein it looked a lot like sugar. In the mean time I got plain Designer Weigh protein so I can mix it in my broth/creamed Soups ect. Because personally I don't mind the protein I do mind having Breakfast all day. They also have a pretty nice rewards program that's free unlike GNC & they take my Health Savings Debit card so that's a bonus.

Hope everyone is doing well I can barely believe it's been a week for me!!

It will all be ok. Be glad you have a good & careful surgeon! I may be in the same boat on Wednesday. That's always the risk with revision! My prayers are with you for a quick removal recovery. Time to focus on your basics! You can DO this! ????

3 mos will go fast!!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am having surgery tomorrow the 16th and might be in your boat. I've had my band for 9 years and am so concerned that I will have to wait another three months to have the bypass. Even if they can't do it all tomorrow, I will be thrilled to get my band out.

Hang in there. :)

      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.
