And nervous is an understatement' date=' I'm really scared.[/quote']

Oh trust me I know. I Started to get nervous a couple of days before but luckily I was busy all weekend so I was able to keep my mind off it somewhat. By Subday night I only slept 2 hours and was really nervous and emotional! When I left the house and said by to my 5 year old I lost it and the tears just kept coming. But the time I got there I was so beyond nervous my hands wet shaking. Buy the time I got to prep for surgery I was much better just because I think it took forever for that process. I remember laying on the operating table and Themis wonderful nurse looked me straight in the eye and said your going to be so happy. And there I want crying and smile at her! That's when I passed out. I think for me there's still a huge part of me that can't believe I actually did it. And now the journey begins. You'll do great! And if theres any questions well I can only speak for my experience but id love to share!

      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.
