My advice is try to keep your mind occupied today...... I bought myself an adult coloring book that kept me busy the day before my surgery. I think it really helped to keep me from getting so nervous. You'll do fine tomorrow and congrats!!! My surgery was back on May 16th and as far as I'm concerned it's the best thing I've ever done for myself!!!

Tomorrow is my week since surgery and it's been really hard. Stay up on ur pain medicines and anti nausea meds after surgery. I didn't and couldn't keep anything down and was forced to stay another night. I slept most of the time in there and so I also couldn't keep up on my fluids. So try ur best at that too. Good luck!!

Don't be disappointed if recovery is more difficult than expected. It's not easy....but it will be worth it! I'm 6 days post op. It's been a little rough some days and easier other days. The day after surgery was the most difficult for me. Don't be afraid to accept or ask for help. Good luck!!!

      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.
