I just don't think it has hit me yet! I am so excited. Took my magnesium citrate drink and have to pack my bag. I'm more excited rather than nervous.

Anyone around theme same time? Nervous? Excited? Anything special to bring to hospital besides Chapstick?

Ah that's cute!! I sent him the link to buy it as a hint I wanted it. I saw the charge through our bank account, so I know I am getting it. :)

Its a little expensive but not too bad. I think the other link I found you can personalize and date too. Those are more expensive. https://www.etsy.com/listing/162403454/weight-loss-surgery-plush-toy-gastric

If you google gastric sleeve plush you get a bunch. They even have key chains as a cheeper alternative!

I have a question why do you have to take magnesium citrate

It clears out your system. So there will be nothing in your stomach when they do surgery.

      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.
