Tomorrow's the day!

Guess I should put those before pictures up now. I can barely breathe through my nostrils. Surgeon told me on Friday we would be good to go. Let's hope the anesthesiologist agrees! I'm so worried about this darn cold that I'm not worrying about the actual surgery--probably a good thing! Any sleeve sisters/brothers out there? Words of advice? Catcalls? Boos? Honestly, I feel like I should be more nervous than I am.

My day is tomorrow too! I also have a stuffy nose. Filled-up on fluids, Vitamin C. I'm been really stressed and worried about surgery (my first ever) but now I'm worried what if they cancel it!?

I had a very stressful week at work last week, and I think I have a cold sore on the side of my nose. I've had them on my lip before--but on the side of the nose?? WTH?? ????

Thank you one and all! @@WLSResources/ClothingExch, you are sister in spirit, so that counts.

@@midorigal, I phoned my surgeon on Friday positive he would cancel on me, but nope. The surgical nurse told me so long as I am not running a fever and my lungs aren't clogged up that they should be good to go. Not looking forward to being without fluids for all that time in the first place. It will be even worse now that I'm so dehydrated by this !@#%!! cold. (There really are no swear words appropriate enough for the way I feel about it.) Best of luck to you! I may not post while in the hospital because I have not mastered phone posting, but I'll think about you.

@@CherieF, ouch! I never got cold sores from stress, but I used to break out all the time because of it. Super annoying since I was one of those lucky teens who never broke out. Hope it heals up soon.

Thank you, @GibbsGirl. I can hardly wait to be part of the losers' circle!

      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.
