tomorrow! Expect a call anytime with my time.... Clear liquids today (not mandatory from surgeon, but seemed like a good idea)...

My kids are showing some anxiety, but are being very supportive.

Going to stay hydrated and relax all day since I took a vacation day for 'mental' prep.

Talk to you all soon!

Received the call and I'm schedule for surgery tomorrow at 9:30am.

Going to buy a loose dress to wear to and from surgery so that nothing will touch my stomach and the incisions.

Taking pics tonight so I will never forget. New life and new body starting tomorrow!!!

Got my time too... Report at 6:30, surgery at 8:30 so I must be the first.

Decided to wear comfortable yoga pants to and from. I live in Ohio and it is supposed to snow tonight, so should probably wear pants ????

Getting ready to take my shower with special soap, then repeat in the morning.

May do pics after my shower... We'll see ????

Good thoughts and prayers for everyone tomorrow! Catch ya on the flip side!

I go first tomorrow. 6:15 check in and 8 am surgery! By lunch time tomorrow I should be up and moving. So many thoughts are going through my head. But as my husband sleeps next to me I know I want all the babies and years that the Lord blesses me with with this man right here. And I'm ready to fight for all of it. Good luck every one. I look forward to checking up on us when I get my phone back tomorrow! Sending out lots of positive vibes! We can do this!

Praying our surgeons are alert and confident as they perform our surgeries. May God guide them all the way. Our recovery time will be light. I ask all of these things in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I'm sitting at the surgery center, trying not to be annoyed and have only positive thoughts but why are the doors locked and they can't find the guard to let us in ????

Breathe, be calm - it's in Gods hands

Sending prayers and thoughts to everyone this morning

Hi guys... I'm the 2/8er. My oh my what a ride!!!! How are you guys feeling. I'm feeling good. No hunger at all. Slipped up and pooped a dorito in my mouth and soon as it hit my taste buds I was like ohhhh shoot!!! And into the garbage it went, didn't even chew. Lol. I came home from the hospital yesterday so I stayed a total of two nights. How is everyone?

Welcome back ????????????

Yes it has been a ride, no slip ups though the word food makes want to gag. I didn't stay overnight in the hospital. I was at a center of excellence for a little over 8 hours

Definitely glad to be home but so ready to feel like myself again

I agree the 1st 2 days were the worst

I'm struggling to get all my liquids in, some stuff has a weird feeling going down but hopefully it will continue to ease up

      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.
