For some reason feels like I'm 'nesting' .. I have to urge to clean clean clean

I've been cleaning out my closet - clothes i know won't fit or wear after surgery

Feel the same before giving birth .. like I'm bringing something new .. my new stomach of course ..

Anyone else felt like this

????????????????????

No, with me I am putting my clothe away in plastic boxes. Am afraid to give them away!!!!

I need to change this attitude of mine.

I still wear a few, don't want to spend money on new clothe because those too will be big on me soon!!!

I didn't. But, this will be your new baby. The good news is, that you will have time to focus on your recovery instead of having to clean when you are still healing, which could take weeks. Good luck to you?

That was supposed to be an exclamation point.

I've been cleaning out sections of the house and everyone's closet is getting cleaned out .. I've had some clothes that were too small so I've been washing them to see when I can wear them after surgery. . 12 days to go !!!!

I totally felt like that too! Before my surgery-6/30- I was cleaning everything, like you said, nesting or preparing everything for my return home. I even would redo things, like folding and refolding clothes or rearranging drawers over again. I think it was my mind trying to get prepared. Glad I'm not the only one!

      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.
