Me too asked my psychologist about it and he said that it's not unusual. He said since I always liked food and can't have it I still want to be around it.

I had my surgery sept 9th and I was starving the first week or so. My husband kept telling me it was head hunger. Made me mad but now that I'm on soft foods I can tell you that there is no way I could of ever ate what I craved or thought I could handle. Maybe he was right or anti acid. Either way those were the worst days because of the want and the desire is there and you think you can do it. So I think it's normal but il talk to my psychologist about it on October 20.

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 9, 2014 and I've been on the liquid diet since Sept 2 luckily only a week. I've been looking forward to this surgery since I started the process back in December 2013 and I've been thinking about it since Jan of 2012. so this isn't a new thing I've done the 6 month nutritionist and I've gotten psychiatric approval. But now my surgery is only 3 days away I'm freaking out. I've convinced myself I will likely die in surgery and if I wake up I will have a leak or some other awful sleeve complications. I know I'm being irrational from lack of carbs but I really think I'm need words of encouragement and assurances that everything will be ok. P.S. if anyone can advice me on a better Protein shake I'm tired of pure protein!

Thank you guys so much! I'm doing a lot better this afternoon it kind of comes in waves. Sometimes I'm really excited then 10 mins later I'm freaking out. I m going to center of excellence and I know someone who had my surgeon and loved him. I asked him if I had any risk and he told me honestly no I don't see any complications with you. He's had one complication last year and it was a 600lb 65 yr. old with a lot of health issues and she had a leak. I feel like as surgeons go I have the best. My mom and dad have told me that I shouldn't worry about the surgery that its the surgeons job so I'm going to try that technique for awhile. He told me that when I come in on Tuesday they will start me on some anxiety meds almost immediately. Wish I could of had some starting Friday:) Thanks again!!

My surgery is Sept 9th as well! I'm Kansas city Missouri. Really nervous about the surgery and recovery but excited to get all that behind me! liquid diet has been hard on me but its getting better everyday! I hope with surgery I wont mind the Protein shakes as much!
