I am right there with you, on all the above. I am scheduled for surgery on the 29th of August and I have not told anyone but my husband, and HR at work because I have to be off work. I can not bring myself to answer anyones questions, opnions or thoughts. I am thinking this is very personal, and as long as my husband is onboard, and I am ready than that is all that matters.

I am on a pure clear liquid diet and allowed 5 no-sugar carnation instant Breakfast packets, and I am half way done. I have a goal to loose 75 lbs by Monday and I am soooo close I am in the high 60's and heck I am not eating really anything

I find I am going to have to start reaching out on here because I am still not ready to tell anyone close to me. I have already found I am not alone, and not the only one starving.

Speaking of starving, why do I have this urge to eat? I have exactly one week till surgery and I feel like I want to eat more than these Protein shakes!!! It's scarrin me! Is it my nerves? Is it me dreading the thought that I won't eat these things anymore? What the heck?

I am right there with u, I have exactly 6 days until my surgery and I am doing my Protein shakes, but the diet they gave me includes yogurt, canned fruit, bananas and broth. cottage cheese, pop and fudgescicles...so i am not totally starving. but it sucks watching my honey eat manicotti and chicken breasts, which i cooked for him, cause i figure i have to get used to the smell of good food around that i cant have.

i have been struggling with my choice to have the surgery and questioning if i should wait awhile longer and get my heart blip checked out or not, and get some psychological counseling first, well last year i had gone to a seminar and the doctor i really wanted to do my surgery wasnt taking my insuracne at that time, but this morning of all times, they call me and tell me i am on his list of call backs and hes taking my insurance now and am i still interested.

i am more confused than ever now.
