If it makes you feel any better I think we all have been through what your going through! You will go through every emotion from nerves, excitement, to maybe even questioning your decision! It's normal! If you have done your research and were confident enough to make the date, your ready! Just know your not the first to feel like this and we all have gotten through it, and you will to. We are here to help so don't be afraid to ask when you need it! Good luck!

You can do it!! We all did/will. I was super excited because I lost 18 pounds in the 3 week pre-op diet, my Dr. was very happy. I took that part very seriously, but also got out my final cravings a week before surgery! So I was content going in, I had a wonderful RN at the surgery center that was all my strength and she was so fun and friendly, it didnt seem like I was there for the reason I was.

Good Luck to all, take a deep breath and think forward a few months! God Bless :D

      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.
