Well the count down is on. I have been doing so well the last couple weeks with staying focused and not trying to worry about the surgery...but today, knowing that tomorrow I have surgery im getting butterflies in my stomach. Im affair by the time I get off the plane tomorrow I will be a nervous wreck! I cant wait to start a new healthy life but I hate the thought of surgery (I have had plenty of surgeries and always feel this way before hand). I have been following all the threads on the mayo banditos and it does give me alot of encouragement knowing how strong you all have been...and the strength you lend to one another! I know things will go fine just getting the pre op nervousness!:thumbup:

Don't be nervous...You'll do fine. Just think about the post op journey that's ahead and all the good times you'll have.

Good luck and we'll talk to you soon......:lol:

Good luck tomorrow! I had never had surgery before either, just 3 babies. I am a big wuss too! I think the plane ride would be the scariest for me!

      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.
