I almost backed out two days before surgery.

I think everyone has what if's and second thoughts.

Just remember why you started this journey and how good you will look one year from now.

I just considered my past failures at dieting and knew that I needed help. Before surgery, especially through the pre-op diet, I found that reading a book or listening to my iPod helped keep my mind busy and off the nervous thoughts.

If it helps at all, I was pretty on-the-fence, almost cancelled the day before, but decided to go through afterall and so far I feel like it's the best decision I ever made.

I am 11 days away and I can tell you my anxiety level is a little on the high side right now. I won't back down because I know I have to do this! I just think its normal to feel this way and I am trying to just stay focused and keep my mind busy. Doing a lot of reading, spending time with family. I went to the movies yesterday with my daughter and saw Snow White and the Huntsman. Spending time today with the hubby watching movies. We just have to stay really focused and know we are doing the right thing :)

I am also 10 days away. I just keep thinking i have three little children that i want to be around to see graduate, get married, have grandchildren, spend the next 50 years with my husband. The reasons are endless. Not to mention i am so sick of being fat. I am so ready. It does not mean i am not nervous i just focus on the reasons why and you should too. Good 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.
