Tomorrow is the big day! All I keep thinking is at this time tomorrow I’ll be a post-op girl. My nerves are in high gear though. I’m so nervous that something will happen at the last minute like all of a sudden I get symptoms of the bug going around where I teach or the doctor won’t like the number on the scale before surgery. I don’t know. I’m just all over the place. Of all things to be scared of from this surgery, I’m freaking out about the IV. [emoji23]

My bag is packed, and I’m ready! I’ll stop with the rambling now.[emoji23]

Good luck, I am 1 week post op and feeling pretty good. The worst pain was right after I went to the room.. it wasn't the incision pain, but from the gas. I got up and walked 20 mins after I went to the room and that really helped. I was doing great soon afterward. This has not been that bad.. I had 3 c sections and a Tummy Tuck and this has been the easiest surgery I have ever had. Prayers for you and a quick recovery.

Thanks for your kind words! I’m so glad you are doing so well. I heard the gas is awful.

My surgery will be sometime in December, and like you, it's not everything I have to do that has me it the needles that I'm terrified of. Do what I do, close your eyes tell the nurse just get it done done count down or say anything just get it in. I truly helps

      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.
