So, tomorrow is the big day. No liquid diet for me. I can eat regular all day today. Nothing after midnight. Although I will be saying farewell to regular food for a while, I had no desire to pig out today. I had some pancakes for Breakfast (thanks to the hubby) . . . I had some greek yogurt and I'll be doing some turkey chili tonight for dinner.

The heart is racing . . .but I don't think its nervousness. (thanks to you all! :) ) I think I'm getting excited.

Losing this weight will prayerfully grant me some sort of normalcy after battling cancer for so long.

I look forward to wearing dresses, shorts in the summertime and working out for more than 10 mins.

I also look forward to getting out of bed. Depression had me trapped in my room for most of the year.

I'm just so excited. I literally feel tears coming to my eyes.

I'm so excited for you and will be praying and thinking of you tomorrow☺ I too am excited for all the same things. I too was depressed and my bed was my best friend after I miscarried. I will have my surgery on Jan 27. I am here if you ever need to talk. Big Hugs to you. You got this!

Ok . .So, I've been up since 3AM.

I prepared my hubby some Breakfast in bed. And I wasn't tempted to take a single bite.

I pre-prepared some lunch and dinner with a few Snacks in anticipation for a long day.

Showered. Bags packed. There's nothing left to do except go to the hospital.

OMG . . .I can't believe the day is finally here. My eyes are filling with tears (again) . . . .I just want to be normal again. Cancer free, energetic and healthy.

Wow.

Good luck to you. Think positive. Everything is going to be ok. You will initially have some pain but mostly from the gas. This will pass and will be nothing like you have previously endured. You got this!

Hello All:

Everything went well.

At some point I remember crying and yelling out loud, "why did I do this!!!" . . . but that 'freak out' didn't last long.

I was so heavily medicated . . most of my experience in the hospital is a big blur. I was admitted on Monday and I think I was discharged on Tuesday.

I had a little emotional setback today. I can't put my finger on why. I just felt really sad.

I'm hungry. Like, really hungry. I realize that the feeling of fullness won't really occur until I start eating solids. I pray that once I start eating, I'll feel better.

My starting weight was 247. I am now 237.7.

I really appreciate this community.

      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.
