Today has finally arrived. It's sort of surreal feeling actually. years of waitign to get to this point and now it's here. wow. we drove up last night to stay in a hotel w/the children and my mom since the hospital is about 75 minutes away from the house. I have told the children (almost 8 and 4 1/2) as much as I am comfortable telling them and that I will be at the hospital overnight. I explained that since Mommys take care of everything the Dr. wanted mommy to stay at the hospital so they could make sure to take care of me so I would get good rest. I am hoping I feel up to having them come and visit me tonight after all is said and done. I dont want them to see me in a lot of pain. I am not scared....which sorta makes me scared lol I am ready...not nervous or leery just ready. My mom kept watching me w/the babies last night tucking them in and I could feel her wanting me to get emotional...or expecting me to I dont know. I juts didnt feel like welling up w/tears and making it a huge production, it was just bedtime kwim?

I couldnt sleep, it's almost 6am and i have to be at the hospital at 745. If you think of me today say a prayer and I'll see you after surgery. The hospital has wifi and I will be bringing you all with me (laptop woohoo) so if I dont feel miserable I will update later tonight! Have a great day!

      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.
