2 more days until surgery early Monday morning. I am super nervous now. Hoping for a busy weekend to keep my mind occupied.

I'm in the same boat. Surgery is set for Monday at 8:00am.

Hoping not to think too much this weekend. I had work to occupy my mind but now what. I guess clean the house. Lol

Good luck on Your surgery!

I think you'll be surprised at how quickly the time will fly. And once you enter the hospital it's all kind of a haze, sort of like being in a dream state, at least it was for me.

Try and get some rest and concentrate primarily on the end product - a brand new you!

Congrats!

Doing OK today. Just getting my toes done trying to distract myself from everything. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I'll do great.

Good luck to you all. I couldn't sleep last night. Went to bed at nine, back up at 11 for 2 hours then tried to sleep again. Finally asleep at about 3. My stomach is freaking out with all of this anxiety. Cramping, rumbling and not to mention what is coming out. Sorry, TMI. Cleaned my whole house this morning and my mom will be arriving within the hour. 2 more sleeps!

What are you all eating for you lady meal? NUT told me something easily digestible cause if anything is left in my stomach they won't complete surgery. I don't have any sort of liquid preop to follow. Just low carb.

I slept ok, but woke up early. Did some last minute errands and took a nap. Hopefully tomorrow isn't bad. I have to clean and do laundry. My stomach is acting up too, but I think it's the liquid diet.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one so anxious.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one either! Very soon we will have a whole new set of issues to combat!

I have been on mushy foods today, tomorrow Clear Liquids and a colon cleanse in the evening. Not looking forward to that. Lol.

I had to make dinner for my husband while I had Jello.

I'm so excited for our new chapter!!!

      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.
