Okay, this is it! I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. for a 9:30 surgery. I am absolutely beside myself. Had a bowl of Soup for dinner and am having a cup of tea now. Water till 10:00 then nothing after that. So many emotions right now. Sad that I let myself get to this point. Excited about the future me. Nervous that I won't wake up from the surgery. Anxious and nauseous. OMGI think I should just go to bed and get this ball rolling. Just don't think I can sleep. Hopefully I can update this post tomorrow afternoon and be alive and as upbeat as you all have been. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. You have no idea how much it has helped me. Goodnight all. "See" you tomorrow!

Lol I slept like a baby the night before I guess that's the thing about being sleep deprived from video games lol....

You'll be fine, I actually expected everything to be worst than it really was. Your imagination is far worst.

      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.
