I started my journey earlier this year. It's been along 6+ months, however in the past couple weeks it has flown right by. I find out when I have to be at the hospital today for my surgery tomorrow. I think this is going to be a long day for me waiting for them to call. Hopefully, I will be near the top of the patient list. If they go alphabetical... well I'm screwed. My last name start with U. ???? I'm very excited to start this new chapter in my life. There is so many things I want to do that I have not done before and things that I have done but I wanted you again only this time they should be a lot easier to do. I have a lot of support for my family including my 8 year old niece, who is one of the reasons I want to do this.

Don't want to be last but nervous about being first. That's funny, but understandable. Good luck and congrats.

after many surgeries - i've usually been lucky enough to have surgery early in the morning

doc has had his coffee, and is wide awake, waiting just for YOU :rolleyes:

arriving 6:00 am at hospital

you won't have hours to be nervous and scared

as far as docs sleep..............

I am lucky enough to have the first spot on my day. Arrival time 5:30am surgery to begin at 7:30. I agree early is best. Anytime I have had surgery I always ask to be first case. Good luck to you!

      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.
