Surgery was moved up from October 21 to the 7th for me! Who's ready? Me! I was anticipating a delay but got quite the surprise by my office. Crossing my fingers and praying for each of you as your dates arrive. Good luck all! I'll be checking in on everyone frequently

So I survived the weekend my husband must be testing my resolve. Saturday it was a run to the mall where he decided he was starving and I had to watch him eat a sandwich & French F----s. Today it was going to join friends at a Sports Bar for football.

I took my Protein Drink with me both times and drank it at the table along with Water from the restaurant sat and Drank it in the

Parking lot before going into the bar. And had a ice tea & water inside. Yes I aced it But today was tough and I drove my own car and left after 2 hours of watching everybody eat around me. Football Sunday's will be a challenge! But I want this too bad to mess up now and I'm in this for the long haul. 9 more days of Pre-op to go. I do find I look forward to the 1 cup of salad/ veggies I get to eat each day I miss the crunch. As Katy Perry sings " I got the eye of the Tiger, the fire, dancing through the fire Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me ROAR."( Thanks AuriP it's a favorite song of mine too!

Hey!! I am having surgery on the 23rd. (My 18yr wedding anniversary. Oops!) I will start the two week diet this Thursday. One week of 4 Protein Snacks plus a lean and green dinner and then one week of protien shakes 5x day. I am addicted to diet cokes, so I will miss those soo much, but I've already gone on caffeine free to ease the headaches I know I'll get also bc of the lack of sugar. I am so excited to read all of you guys' comments! I am a mother of three girls, ages 20, 17, and 16.

Karen- Hope you ended up getting discharge yesterday!

Auri--Sorry you are having so much pain! Is it more under control now? I had SO much pain when I had my band removed. I can't imagine having both procedures done at the same time. You poor thing!

We went to my cousin's wedding in Wisconsin this weekend and I talked with my Aunt, Uncle and a different cousin who have all had the bypass done. They are all so happy for me and anxious to see how I do with it all. :-)

I start my 2 weeks of liquids tomorrow. Anxious to get it started! Hoping the 2 weeks goes by quickly!! I took measurements a couple weeks ago, so will report mine also. Will weigh one more time in the morning. I weighed 2 weeks ago 245. I have a feeling I've gained a couple more though. I've felt a bit out of control. Plus it's my time of the month, so that always puts on a few excess pounds. Ugh...

What is this about catheters and drains? Did ur doctor tell you beforehand that you would need drains? And I sure hope I'm under anesthesia for the catheter part. I've heard that is a terrible pain.

Yes, my Dr. had mentioned that I would probably be going home with a drain. But my Aunt told me they removed hers before she left the hospital. I had a catheter also after I had lap band surgery (back in 2008). I don't know what determines if they just do a catheter during surgery and remove it before you're awake....or if they just leave it in until later. Ugh, I hate catheters.

      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.
