I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm jittery. I'm sitting here drinking broth at almost 10pm and finishing up some cakes I have due for customers. I was hoping I'd have down time - but will probably not head to bed until 2am or so. I think i'm going to walk to the hospital from the train (8 very long city blocks) - so at least I'll be a bit tired and walk off some nervous energy.

I'm trying to keep the excitement in the forefront of my mind. I had my husband measure me today to compare to the measurements he took in September before my surgery was postponed. I lost 4" from my waist, 3" from my hips, 2" from my shoulders and 2" from my bust. "Eye on the prize". That mantra will get us through. That, and look how many were before us that have shared some AMAZING success stories!!

Good luck everyone. My surgery is at 1pm - so I will check in tomorrow night.

Hope everyone is recovering comfortably!

      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.
