Did anyone go through nesting before surgery? You would think I'm bringing a baby home. It's not even noon. I've washed clothes, cleaned bathrooms, cleaned the fridge, washed dishes, washed and deep conditioned my hair, finished prepping my mini fridge... About to mop and vaccum.

I "nested" before my 1st attempt (surgery aborted) because I didn't want to risk getting sick by going out and about. So I stayed home during my 2 week pre-op diet to minimize my exposure to potential germs. I also did some Soup prep and ordered stuff I needed, so that I was prepared.

Now when I go for my 2nd attempt I plan to do the same. Don't want to risk getting sick and delayed further than I already was/am. So I will prep what I can and just relax and stay away from people to reduce my risk exposure.

Good luck @@Womanvsmirror!!

Yes over the past 3 weeks I've been extremely anti-social trying to avoid germs

I have got through a bunch ( BUNCH) of clothes I keep in bins ( previous sizes ) and my closet which has clothes I wear That fits and some that are 10 lbs away that I cannot wear .... I got rid of three full bins of clothes I have always hated but kept hold of because I thought I needed them

And then I washed all clothes from 28, 26 and 24 ( only favorites) and put them in my closet , ready ...... It was awesome . I cannot wait! It was better than thinking about eating or worrying about my 5 yr olds developing cough

I nest literally every month... i did yesterday... i literally clean the house from top to bottom... for me its a hormonal thing... around 2-3 days before I'm due i nest like a crazy person!

I did the samething prior to surgery.. i cleaned the house... organised my filing and paperwork... cleaned up my computer, deleted and filed my inbox... went to the beautician to have everything erm.. groomed hehe... and even gave my family a verbal will. .. i think i went a little overboard though haha..

A couple months ago I went through allllll the clothes I had sized up and out of over the years. Donated a ton, but ended up optimistically setting aside about 3 bags full of favorites that I hope to fit into on my way back down after surgery!

      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.
