So tomorrow at 4:30 in the bloody morning!, I will be heading to the hospital to have my surgery..

Surgery time is scheduled for 7:30 and I have to be there 2 hours early.

I'm nervous and scared, But also excited ready to get it done and over with.

Thankfully my husband took off the week to spend with me, I will be home same day if everything goes well.

My young daughter is staying with her grandparents in Maryland till Wednesday, Miss her already :(

So everything is ready and set into place, Going to try to make it out today (Or send my husband out since I'll be on laxatives) for a few last minute essentials: Heating pad and Isopure..

I will update here come tomorrow morning when I get to the hospital, Or beforehand if I'm feeling nervous..

P.S. I already have an escape plan set up from the hospital in my head, So if you all don't hear from me tomorrow check the news stations they'll probably be covering the story of the crazy woman from NJ with her butt hanging out of a hospital gown terrorizing the town.

@HalloweenBaby24. That part about the escape plan, hella funny. You got this. Just focus on that sweet baby waiting for you. If nerves are really bad, ask for some pre medication. While in the pre op holding area, I asked for a Valium was given one. That may of been the reason why one minute I was looking at the guy insert my iv and the next I was waking up! I'll be checking the news, don't let me see you on there. Lol. Blessings

HalloweenBaby24,

Good luck on your surgery. I hope it is uneventful and routine. I also wish you an easy recovery. Walk as much as you can to get rid of the CO2 gas and prevent blood clots.

I heard a joke on TV that comediene Joan Rivers said. I'm paraphrasing: I'm so old now I can now get a mammogram and a pedicure at the same time :) . I can SO RELATE. At the age of 49 and having weight loss surgery, I've gone from a 48C to a 42Long. I need a border collie bra--one that can "round them up and point them in the right direction" ;) .

Blessings,

Kathleen

      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.
