I am having trouble sleeping now since surgery though so I'm definitely talking to Dr. Ivan tommrow about it. I feel like I have restless leg syndrome but with my whole body. I hope he can help me out.

Is it loud? I'm sorry you can't sleep either. Idk what's going on and why my body just feels so restless. I walk alot n I drink Water. I just feel restless when I take a medicine with a sedation in it. Like I take ibs medicine and it used to help me sleep at night but does the opposite. Nyquil n zofran are the same way. I hope to get some answers later.

Its not loud at all, unless my mask leaks. Just the mask, its so cumbersome on my face and it irritates my skin and is causing red bumps. I know, I know, I'm being a whiny brat when this nice medical device that my insurance paid for is supposed to help me breathe. You need to breathe to live, ya know.

Oh my goodness. There's no way to sleep with that thing on. I'm sorry! That's no fun at all. Idk how they expect people to sleep with those. I hope the surgery helps with not having that anymore eventually.

Bloomer, it went great. Their scale said I'm 234. But Ivan is happy about my progress. It was really embrassing because my appointment was at 6pm tonight so I was the last patient, well I was a few mins late due to my manager keeping me until 5 and traffic but I walked into the office with everyone standing there waiting on me. Ivan, the girl who takes us back, 2 receptionists, and dee. They joked and said they were having a waiting party for me. I didn't expect them all to be there.

@@bcostasbiggs ~ I'm right behind you, I start pre-op diet on Friday. I have a turkey that has been in my freezer since Christmas that I pulled out to thaw for my Lastgiving Meal on Thursday. I'm going to make a turkey with the fixins' for the family, that way we will have some leftovers for them while I'm starving..lol

Tssiemer, don't feel guilty at all. Your allowed to have fun before surgery and you definitely should enjoy these moments because you won't be able to enjoy those moments again pretty much. Carbs are so filling right now. I eat them and then feel so sick. I wish they sat okay. Maybe they will with you though.

      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.
