My husband is sick!!! Pray that I don't catch it. I DON"T want to postpone mine may 21 date. Grandson graduating tomorrow night. No, they didn't put me on a pre op. They didn't my friend either but did my daughter. They said it's your BMI? that determines that???

Quick side Question... How do you get your ticker to come out on each entry?

Where do you paste the link in order for that to happen?

2 days and counting!!!! who else feels like they're going to throw up at the thought of it??? I had to show my 7 year old the diagram this morning of what it is they're doing to me, poor kid looked like he was going to pass out. The best way to explain it to your kids, is that your stomach is going to be like an hourglass (use wizard of oz as example, when dorothy is locked up) They'll get it immediatly. a friend of mine used that trick to tell her 4 year old, and now when they eat dinner, her son brings a little hour glass to the table.

Hi, Mine is on Friday the 22nd. I am so excited and I don't feel nervous yet.:unsure:

I have been on liquids only since Sunday. I had my pre op at the hospital yesterday and with the surgeon today. They gave me the stomach soap liquid to start using tomorrow. Did y'all get that as well? I found out that my red toe nail polish is okay during surgery, just not blue, black or purple. I wear clear polish on my finger nails only. I will be staying overnight in the hospital. Anyone else? GB

I am with you all I am the 28th and in one way wish it would be here and over with in another not so much. LOL I am doing good on the pre op diet, dr wanted me to lose 10 lbs and as of today I have done that since my last visit, 14 or so overall. So I have 8 more days or so so I guess I can drop another lb or 2 in that time.

      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.
