Hi everyone, i am scheduled for feb. 26th. I am seeing my MD for clearance and the gastro doc and getting recent blood work. . I am 54 years old and i noticed Cynthia's post saying she had to have a stress test. Is anyone else having more tests than i am? I dont want to worry. Is there anything else i should be doing? Sara

2/14 here! Really anxious just hoping all the pre op tests come back clear and then also worried about surgery, I have anxiety so of course I'm worrying about a million things ( will my bp be too high to where they won't operate/will I be allergic to the drugs/will they do the wrong procedure on accident) just stupid things due to my anxiety. I keep telling myself that I'm not being forced to do it and its something I really, really want so surgery is worth it. Hope I'm not the only one feeling this way...

Kara! My friend, you are NOT alone! I have had those same "what ifs" but I'm just trusting that all will be fine, these docs do this all of the time they got this! I think the added anxiety just comes from never having done this before...you hang in their girl, you got this! We got this!

      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.
