Mine is on the 29th I start my preop Saturday, am so scared n excited this is all I think about 24/7. There is so much going on in my family right now I feel like this going to be a long and hard road, but am ready somewhat. I know I can't be fully ready for this process even if I tried.

I just keep telling myself imagine yourself a year from now you won't be here, you won't feel unhealthy you won't feel this joint pain you are in all the time. Is the little things that keeps me going as scared I am about this change in my life as unready I feel, I know the only thing that can go wrong from here on is a better faster happier me. And for that I have already proved I am willing to do anything by making this choice.

Good luck to all you brave souls, lets do this!!! ????????

Sorry about those Spartans, at least you got more important things on the horizon.

That was heart breaking. I am happy that most of March Madness is happening while I am off work recovering. Then my team gets bounced in the first round when they are one of the favorites to win a national championship!!! Argh.

Oh well, I have more important things to focus on, and I still enjoy the tourney. Next year. There is always next year.

Day 4 of the liquid diet. Much easier than I expected. I've discovered that I really, really like broth now considering it actually smells and tastes like food. Plus, I'm down 7 lbs! Can't tell you how long it's been since the scale has actually moved down. 48 hours from now I will be in pre-op. Right now I'm trying to stay busy cleaning house, doing laundry and doing my best not to let my anxiety build. Somehow, the closer I'm getting to Monday the calmer I'm getting. I really wasn't expecting that. Now let's just hope it stays that way! Good luck everyone getting their Protein on this weekend :rolleyes:

      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.
