I never would have guessed I'd be having so many emotions tonight. The only survey I've had in my life is a csection to deliver my baby. I guess it is different when you are having elective surgery.

But then again, is it really elective when you need it to survive longer for your child's sake? Nope! I'm going to DOMINATE this surgery and this journey.

Let's do this!

Good luck to anyone else about to go under soon too!

Totally normal to feel that way. I was all over the place 24hrs before surgery! New life tomorrow for you!

My surgery is tomorrow too, I've only had a C-section and one other to repair a Hernia but I'm nervous still (and excited of course too!)

Good luck with yours too! :)

@@Asweethotmess @@AmyML hydrate as late as possible! got your seats saved here on the losers bench!

Thank you! :D

My surgery isn't until 3:15pm and it's going to be tough going that long with no Water, I'm still up and drinking up Water and broth as much as I can right now! I think they said I can drink up until 3 am but I'll probably be going to sleep soon so I don't think I'll drink anything after 11pm.

Congrats y'all. My op is tomorrow too and my wife gave me a "honey-do-list" of things to do today before I'm out of commission. But it actually helped keep my mind off of things.

      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.
