Wow, thanks you guys! I'm sitting here waiting for the taxi to pick me up, trying not to tear my hair out. I didn't get any sleep last night to speak of--a combination of nerves and a 2 year-old climbing into bed at about 2:30 a.m.--but I'm not sleepy this morning. Just jumpy.

One of the weirdest things is that I was told to leave all my valuables at home, so I'm going out without my necklace, earrings, rings (including wedding band, for the first time ever), and no cell phone or wallet! It occurred to me that if the taxi got into an accident I'd be unidentifiable.

Just one more thing to worry about. ;-)

If all goes well I could be home this afternoon by 2:00 or so. Gotta love outpatient procedures!

Taxi's here--I'm off. Yeeps!!!

      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.
