Thank you all soooo much! I know it's weird to say but i am happy I'm not alone and it is comforting to know people feel the same way I do.

My surgery is tomorrow morning at 10am. I am nervous, scared, excited, anxious all the while, knowing this is going to be a good thing.

Part of me is dissapointed in myself that I wasn't strong enough to do this on my own, almost as if I let myself down. Why couldn't I have the will power, it doesnt make me the proudest to say I have had WL surgery but it is what it is and I know I am going to feel better and look better. I have held on to this weight for so many years, it's like breaking up with someone. I am so excited to get my self confidence back which in return will help me be a better wife and a better mom. Overall I know it will make me happy.

Hopefully a good night sleep and a easy surgery is ahead of me :sad: Be thinking about me tomorrow.

Steph

Steph....you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow....good luck and I hope all goes well.

My date is scheduled for 3/18 and I'm sure I'll be up all night the night before full of nerves, which I think is normal. I hope you get a good night sleep and be ready for what tomorrow will bring.

Hey Luvinlife, I am a February newbie. My surgery date is scheduled for April 22, 2010 and I am freaking out. I have most of my requirements met but I also am not doing so great on my pre opp diet. I am supposed to lose 10% of my total body weight and have only lost a pound so far. I have 5 weeks left. I am so nervous to go under. My doctor has a 0% death rate so that makes me a little more confident but I just have a million what if's running through my head. I have a husband a 7 year old and a 2 year old so, I am right there with you. Do you have a surgery date yet?

      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.
