Admission at 6:30, apparently I'm first on the list for the day so all going well should be done and dusted by midday!

It's been a long trip since I started investigating the process its kind of funny knowing it'll be done soon and the next stage will start.

Best of luck to you! You're going to do great. I consider my surgery date as my re-birthday! It truly was the first day of the rest of my life.

The first few days are going to be rough. You may have thoughts of "What did I just do to myself?" "Did I make the right decision?" All perfectly normal thoughts and feelings. Just ride them out.

Remember you're recovering from major surgery - listen to your body. Rest when you need to. Walk when you can. Sip your Water - you don't want to get dehydrated while recovering (that happened to me and it sucks). Know that you may not get your minimums for Water and Protein those first few days - do the best you can and get as close as you can.

I'm 10 months out (today, actually!) - short of marrying my husband and having my son, this was the best decision of my life.

Good luck! We'll see you soon on the losers' bench!

      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.
