Tomorrow is the day!

I can't beleive it, but tomorrow morning, very early, I will be on my way to have my surgery. I'm not too nervous at the moment, but I know it's because I'm doing everything I can to just not think about it. I'm sure I will be a complete basket case tomorrow. Originally when they called me today to give me my surgery time, it was for 1:30 PM, but about an hour later they called to tell me it had changed and I'm now the first one being done tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. I need to be at the hospital at 6:00. I'm glad I don't have to wait all day. I just want to get this part of it over with and begin my new banded life.

Thank you all for the great information. It's really helped me to have a better understanding of what to expect.

I'll be home sometime on Saturday and will check in then. :D

Good luck -- I was thinking my surgeon would schedule me for Dec then he had an Oct opening -- I took it, but it made me nervous to do so -- no prep time etc. ThenI realized Why wait???? I think your earlier time is better -- what would you do all day but get worked up?????? See you on the other side -- best of luck!

      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.
