Surgery is tomorrow at 10:45am. I am packed. I am ready. Husband is taking me there tomorrow and taking the week off to help me. He is the only one I have told that I am having this surgery. I am so thankful for his support. I am nervous but I am mostly EXCITED!!! This time tomorrow I hope to be resting up from surgery and looking forward to new beginnings.

Getting ready to go. Took a shower. Weighed myself. They will not do the surgery if you are not at or below goal weight I am three lbs under. Not sure why I was so worried i have been trying hard. Got the patch behind my ear. All packed got the copayment toothbrush deodorant and a bundle of nerves I'm so excited. Three hours and it's on. Heading out the door.

Good luck!! Don't forget to take some "before" photos. You'll want those to compare as the weight comes off.

What an exciting day!! Congrats on your big day!

my husband and my kids and mother in law are the only ones I've told. There seems to be mixed feelings about sharing.

Do you mean at or below starting weight?

I survived my surgery. The gas bubbles aren't so fun and I've had some nausea. But day 2 was better than day 1. Moving around better all the time.

      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.
