Recommended Posts

Nice list.... Very similar to mine. I am wearing a dress home because in afraid to have anything around my stomach.

I hope I don't forget to take my before pic.

Do you know if you get your own room in the hospital? I have never had to share a room before.... So that might be interesting.

Yea, Im wearing a dress home as well, But I chose tops and bottoms at the hospital because I just wouldn't feel right with a gown.

And from what the nurses and surgeon told me I won't have to share a room with anyone while I'm there Thank GOD!!!

And I'm letting my hubby take a picture of me that morning before I leave for the hospital.

I have to be there at 8:30am sharp but I dont have surgery until 10:30am I just hope I have a good nurse that knows what she's doing when It comes to putting In my IV.

Oh I know.... That IV is the worst and I can tolerate a lot. The last time I was in the hospital it left my arm black and blue.

You are lucky you don't have to share a room.... Fingers crossed that I won't either.

I bet it will be more comfortable walking around in pants vs. a gown anyway. I can't believe this day is half over....

Are you guys ready for this?

I am doing great, just kinda freaking out that surgery is in a week! Lol

My countdown app just went off to remind that my diet has officially began. Honestly, I'm kinda relieved that I'm down eating for a while. I've pigged out so much since I got my date, I feel permanently full haha

Angelic, I haven't been to any support groups yet but I'm thinking about maybe joining one when I'm a couple months post op. My mom had the surgery about 7 years ago and has totally rocked it so I'm going to look to her for a lot of advice. What about you, have you joined any support groups?

I am looking forward to not taking insulin, and checking my blood sugar. People may think its strange but I forget I have diabetes sometimes. And I have pressure on my nerves in my back. That never (constantly hurting) ending pain. But three cheers for us. I'll be joining all of you in a month Good Luck and a speedy recovery to all.

We'll be saving a place for you on the losers bench! I'm so excited for the pain to end too. I'm only 22 but all the weight is finally catching up to me with aches and pains. You'll be off insulin and feeling good in no time! Make sure to keep in touch with us (:

      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.
