I'm a bit late in replying here, I've been out of power for a few days after the last storm we had.
I've been really worrying about this part actually! I am a stomach sleeper also... I can NEVER get to sleep in any other position. Anyone that has already had surgery, how long until you were able to sleep on your stomach?
2 more days for us MACPOWER.... How are you doing on your pre op diet? For me it has definitely gotten easier the longer I have been on it


Tomorrow Morning! The pre-op diet has gone good. I had some issues on Friday...but made it through decently. But for today when I can only have Clear Liquids all day and that’s it...I feel completely fine with it.

How bout you?

Doing ok here. Only liquids for me today as well. Still waiting for the call to find out what time I go into the hospital tomorrow...

Excited, a little nervous, I've never really been in the hospital before. But I think I'm more nervous about being away from home for so long and having someone else taking care of my dogs! lol

I just joined and I feel you. The only thing forcing me to comment and butt in is the fact that I know I need a support system & right now this community is all I have

Hey there! This community is AMAZING! They are a wealth of knowledge, incredibly welcoming and supportive. I too came here because I wanted the support of like minded individuals, people who are going through what I am going through. I am 1 month away from having my surgery, and I don't think I'd have survived all the waiting involved in this process! So WELCOME and hope you find everything you are looking for!

I found it very hard to eat meat also unless it was very juicy..: rotisserie chicken is awesome though. It’s

Soft and juicy and goes down and stays down. I count on that a lot in salads or just as dinner

We can always brine our chicken then it stays moist. If you brine up to 12 hours then rinse well there is little sodium to worry about. Over 12 hours the salt will work its way into the meat to far then too much sodium. Any-who just fyi

It’s crazy that so many people have to wait till the day before to find out what time they have surgery. That kind of makes it more stressful you’d think.

Iv stayed in the hospital a few time for surgerys. It’s not fun that for sure! But it goes quick and your home sooner than you think.

Good luck tomorrow! Hopefully you find out soon what time you go in.

Most of the hospitals[emoji541] in Ohio seem to do the day-before [emoji338]method. Are they really so busy they don't know ahead[emoji354], is it a head[emoji62] game they play or doesn't it

Matter as much to THEM as it does to ME? I suspect it's the last. Gosh every time I hear one of my buddies are getting theirs I get a little "jelly"[emoji58] it's not me. Sniff sniff, it's gonna come[emoji8] I can't give up yet![emoji8]

It's coming up so quick! I officially start my pre-op diet on the 18th (my surgeon only required 1 week), however this week I've made changes to my eating habits to kinda work my way into the diet.

Seems most of you are having surgery soon. I'm at the very beginning. Met with surgeon and 2 weeks until my 1st of 7 months with the nutritionist. I know it will go fast but right now it feels it's dragging

      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.
