Just remember tomorrow will be your new birth date. You are making the choice for a new life. Just try not to get too anxious before you go in. You'll do great.

One small warning just from mine and my step moms personal experience so that incase it happens to you you dont freak out when I woke up I had this killer heavy feeling in my chest like someone was sitting on my lungs I jumped up and freaked out I thought they had cut me open all the way instead of laproscopically because it was so intense.. But it was just the feeling of the gas escaping so no worries :) not tryin to scare you just wish someone would have told me that so I wouldnt have scared myself! Best of luck keep us posted and welcome to your new beginning!

      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.
