Jamie, stay away from the t.v. tonight...too many food commercials! And don't forget to shave your legs tonight. Why are you worrying about getting your beauty sleep? You know you won't be able to sleep anyway -- too excited! Stick a package of Peanut Butter crackers in there for your DH tomorrow. Mine about starved to death. I was there at 5:30 am, but didn't get on the o.r. table until 1 p.m I was o.k. with that, I wanted the surgeon to take his time on them so he'd do the same for me.

Oh yeah, can't forget the husband....Mine just about starved. I too was in at about 5:30am and din't get on the operation table till about 12noon. Make sure he's got plenty of coffee. ;) You are going to be fine. The anestesiologist (however it's spelled) will ask you to think of a nice place about a minute before you dose off. I said a prayer, thought of my children and my husband and dosed off into lala land.

I'll be here to hear the rough times, good times, and to encourage you. I look forward to your success with the band.

Later!

My DH HATES coffee and I love it ! Go figure!!I'll have to keep him supplied with quarters for the coke machine. My surgery is supose to be the first of the day,so I hope all will go quickly for me. If that anestesiologist asks me to count like they did with my gallbladder surgery it will sound like this. WO.....???________________________________LOL!!!!

Well, Be prepared to have some discomfort when you wake up. Not real bad. It was bad for me because I have allergies and my throat felt like I had to clear some mucous and I was coughing up a storm. They kept telling me to stop and that I was just feeling the irritation from the tube they put in my throat. I said no it wasn't that, and then It cleared, no more mucous. Then I stopped coughing and my belly didn't hurt so bad. Pretty gross huh?!

Yeah, but don't forget that Jamie already had a trial run last month, getting her gallbladder out! She's an old pro at this. (And Jamie, you don't want to be able to hear the guy say, "OK,Doc, she's under, proceed." LOL)

Now's not the time to lie about your weight!! Get enough of that stuff to knock you out. LOL

My thoughts are with you. You will be fine. You are so much closer to living your dreams not just wishing them.

      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.
