thanks guys ...

i go in tomorrow morning at 6. not sure how long checking in (even though i did it on the web, im sure they will want to verify) and the drawing will take.

DD is bringing his camera to take as many pics as he can (both before and after surgery) i asked Dr. P if he would take pics and he didnt seem too enthused. i dont want to push it and really who wants to see my belly lying on a table ? ick.

we're picking my dad up from the airport this afternoon and then dinner and i think i'll take a valium tonight. last night was not a good night sleepwise again. holy crap nerves are really setting in. hopefully they will give me something when i check in tomorrow. i cant even imagine walking into the OR. at least with the band my IV was already started and i was wheeled in. i think here i get to walk in ... yikes!!!

OMG, I'm nervous for you. Just sitting here thinking about what that must feel like, my hands started shaking. You must be a bundle of nerves.

I'll be praying for you, and for your surgeon that he has quick, skilled hands, and that there will be no complications, and for a speedy UNEVENTFUL recovery!

Hey girl, tomorrow will soon be here and just take deep breaths.. you are a strong woman and I know you will get through this with flying colors! I know you are nervous, but just think, when you wake up, it will be over and then the recovery will begin and I'm sure you'll get plenty of pain meds to help you out. This is something you've been wanting for a while now, and now it's finally happening!! I'm so happy for you darling! remember, deep breaths and you'll get through this!! HUGGS

I have been away from LBT for a while, busy and such, and just read about your next journey tomorrow. What an inspiration you are (and have been with couch to 5k etc). I am so very excited for you, and will be saying prayers for you as well. It will be over before you know it, and soon the new you will be up and about! How cool is that?!!

Please keep us posted, we care!!

OMG... my ticker says 0 days SINCE my TT... I kinda wanted to see 0 days until, but thats ok...

3am and I've been awake for about half an hour... need to get up at 415 to shower and such, but I'm pretty much wide awake.

sooooo excited, hope DrP is getting a better sleep than I am... :rolleyes2:

I will post the new thread from my DH's iPhone when he decides to wake up.... (sleeping is not easy when you have a 4 yr old DEEP breathing and DH's occasional snore in the same room, but I wouldnt trade them for the world)...

ok... back to bed to rest...

      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.
