So I am scheduled for the first surgery of the day! Is that good or bad? I’m nervous about it. What was your experience on the time of the day for you??!

Both my band and revision to bypass were the first up. I don't see it as a problem because the staff has already been at work for a while prepping so it's not like you are going to get some bed headed nursing staff / surgeons strolling in without having their coffee yet to open you up and hope things go smoothly. They take it seriously, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

My surgery was at 5 am , surgeon and surgical staff were clear, bright and happy they actually clapped and cheered as they rolled me drug loopy into the OR, amazing experience.

      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.
