The closer Tuesday morning gets the more nervous I get! I know God is with me and without Him I would not be able to do this. I am confident in my surgeon but having never been in the hospital and this being my first procedure has my nerves on edge. Prayers going out for all of us!!

I've kept everything very private too! I was also sleeved on oct. 1st so if you need to talk or anything at all feel free!!! ❤️ good luck!

Yes! Let's please stay in touch! I kinda feel like I am on my own island over the weekend. How are you feeling? My swallowing has gotten better, but now I am having diarrhea very often. (I hope not too much info! ) but it really worries me that I am going to become dehydrated. I have stopped all pain and anti-nausea meds just in case that could be causing this. Yesterday I had a terrible headache all day. I am wondering when and what "normal" will be. Trying to stay focused on the prize. Not trying to be negative but just curious if you are having any of the same symptoms or if you know if this is normal...? What are you taking liquid/protein wise? My Dr office told me Isopure does not count as Water. Seems impossible to get in proper amount of liquids and Proteins right now. Are you having better luck?

We all have October 14th surgery dates! Are you guys on your pre op diets? Are you nervous, excited, starving? How fun to go through this journey together. :)

I am totally excited, scared and nervous just to name a few. As I read so many of the post I realized that only my pre-op diet consist of one day which is the day before surgery. I guess it just depends on your doctor. My pre-op is scheduled for this Friday, October 10th and this weekend will be my last official weekend with my whole stomach. It's crazy because now that's it real I am starting to think about the important milestones in my life in which my stomach was very much a part of because I'm an emotional eater. Every milestone that I have had consisted of food. Happy-eat, Sad-eat, excited-eat, celebrating-eat and so on. My life and every aspect of it will change on the 14th and I am anticipating good results. I'll be praying for everyone!????

Peekaboo and Shmeyers thank you! I have one incision that's been sore since surgery but aside from meds in the hospital I haven't taken any pain meds at all! They sent me home with Pain meds, nausea meds and omperazole for heartburn and ulcer prevention that I have to take every day... Aside from that i haven't taken anything at all. I'm surprised at how smoothly this has been because I was expecting WAY worse. I really can't say I've experienced pain... Just annoying discomfort.

      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.
