Hi. I just had my surgery 2 weeks ago today, 9-8-09, and it was one of the easier surgeries I've had. It's a breeze compared to knee surgery. I think it's probably normal to be a tad nervous anytime you are preparing to let somebody carve on your carcass, but to me, the anticipation is always worse than the actual surgery. You'll do great I am sure.

I'm having surgery on 9/24 too! I'm so nervous and excited I have butterflies! Now its crunch time, getting things together for after surgery. Just filled my prescriptions today and will be going shopping for liquids to drink post-op!

Good luck girl we'll do great!

Thanks-I'm sure everything will be fine too. Just got back from my pre op appointment and got all of my questions answered. I feel alot better now and am ready to get it done!

We have to touch base with each other periodically to check progress!!

Good luck!!:bored:

Nervous is very normal. I had my band 5 months ago and the day before the surgery, I thought about canceling it too. I am glad I didn't and I wish I've it done long time ago.

Good luck to everyone that is going to have surgery. Let's know how you are doing :tongue2:

      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.
