It's Friday and surgery is Monday. Trying to remain calm and focused but I have a nervous twitch over my eye!

Which eye?

No, seriously, there's nothing wrong with nervous or a little freaking out. Keep yourself occupied at a comfortable pace (not frenzied) between now and the time you head to the hospital. Change the sheets Monday a.m. before you head out. It will give you something to do and you'll have a fresh, crisp bed if you want a nap and some relaxation once home again.

Lol my right eye. I am trying to relax and keep busy at the same time so I am just exhausted. Thanks for the Monday morning suggestion!

Get some sleep and if you can't ... just lay there and close your eyes... relax with a shower ... book a massage... anything that helps you relax.

I get an eye twitch when I am super stressed. I know it's annoying and probably causing more stress! Monday will be here before you know it and then you'll be in recovery soon after that and well on your way. Hang in there and enjoy the weekend!

      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.
