Tomorrow is surgery day for me and I am all over the place with emotions today. Mostly excitement about the future me, but some fear of the unknown and the pain. Each step along the way has been a significant milestone for me in this journey towards a healthy lifestyle. The hospital should be calling me any time now to give me my time to arrive tomorrow and I am all packed, except my CPAP mask and toiletries.

Today has been the cleanse day with the mag citrate and surprisingly, it has not been as bad as I anticipated. I suspect that is because of the pre-op diet and no solids in my system. It has been 4 hours since I tool the mag citrate and so far, only two trips to the bathroom. :)

My next check in will be post op, whenever I am well enough to post.

@mswonderwoman.. Funny, took my cpap mask and they brought the machine into my room post op, but I didn't use it. I asked them if I had to use it since I wasn't sleeping much. I had too many gadgets on me anyway, one more would have driven me nuts I think. lol

      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.
