My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Crazy! Now I just have to get through the next few days of my pre-op diet and get to the hospital on time. (We won't discuss the loose ends at work, the kids, the husband, etc...) :)

I was so excited on my surgery day that I was bouncing up and down on the gurney in the pre-op (before that awesome sedative anyway). My friend who brought me to the hospital asked, "You do realize you're having a surgery, right?"

A decision I'll never regret almost 130 lbs and 10 pant sizes later!

Best of luck on your surgery! Keep us updated if you can!

don't worry about those family "loose ends" ;)

they will take care of themselves

you are on the front burner :)

its YOUR turn to be treated extra special/get huggggs etc :)

these next few days you'll maybe be running around like a chicken without a head ;)

this is an exciting time for you

before you know it you will be taking a nap while the docs do "their thing" :)

get plenty of rest PO

drfink drink and then drink

at this time - drinking is more important than Protein

did you know there is "scientific" proof that the best day to get sleeved is on January 14th :blush:

good luck

speedy recovery :)

      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.
