So, it's 0457 and I have slept all I am going to sleep, still tired but way too wound up to go back to bed. Honestly I am shocked I got as much sleep as I did. So in a scant 6 hours I will be under the knife, closing one chapter of the book of life and opening a new one. Honestly, the last chapter was so full of heartache and sorrow, I do not miss seeing it go. I am now fixated on the future. WIsh me well.

Wish you the best, praying for a complication free surgery and a speedy recovery.

Best of luck to everyone making their old/new transition today! I was released yesterday and with the exception of some pain (totally manageable) and a leaky drain sight, I'm great! I haven't been able to keep up with everyone this weekend as I had my phone and the app kept crashing so I'm playing catchup. I LOVE reading all the posts of those of us about to start this leg of the journey. If you are about to have your surgery, trust me, it's over in a flash. There is some discomfort but I can tell you, if you get up ASAP and walk, it'll make all the difference. Even if you let out a howl (like I did) when you get up out of that bed, DO IT. The sooner you are up and moving, the quicker you will recover. You can't wait to read about everyone's progress!!!

      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.
