I'm having surgery tomorrow! I'm so nervous. I've had several surgeries but never by choice. This is so scary. I'm worried I won't be able to stay on the liquid diet. That's really my only worry.

@@ANewMe9/21 yes of course. I didn't have any health issues but can't wait to be this done.

I'm in Stamford, Connecticut!!!!

I've been scheduling all the last minute stuff: clearance from my PCP, final appt. w/surgeon, & Anesthesiologist. Everything is happening so fast! :) I also need to get stuff ready for when I'm home and the pre op diet. How are you doing?

I've got my sheets in the dryer now. They gave me a special body wash to use tonight and tomorrow morning and said to sleep on clean sheets tonight. All the laundry is done. Washing the bathroom rugs now. Funny how you get the nesting urge. At least I don't have to buy a lot of groceries! Tonight I'm going to my grandson's first football game of the season. I'm hoping it will help the nervousness. I took all my measurements and will take a picture tonight at game. I'm stocked up on yogurt, pudding and Protein drinks. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. Surgery at 7:30. The Dr gave me a patch to put behind my ear to help with nausea after surgery. I've never heard of this but it makes sense. I'm to put it on tonight. That way it will be in my system when i get out of surgery.

@@ANewMe9/21 i still have to meet once more my surgeon, blood work, on September 8th I decided have the pre op diet with liquids. They didn't ask me but I think it would be good for me.

I watched every single YouTube video about pre op and post op. I'm a big planner so everything needs to be all ready to go.

I can totally relate, I'm a big planner too! I need to get ready for the diet. 1st wk is 1 shake a day and 2 lean meals. 2nd wk is 3 shakes a day and Clear Liquids. Day before is just clear liquids. :/

      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.
