ever since late yesterday afternoon, I have been so nervous about my surgery on the 30th.

the hospital called yesterday to confirm my pre op appt tomorrow and I just can't stop thinking about it. we spread out all the papers about post op last night and read through them again..

im not scared of the surgery, just nervous and excited about the procedure, about all the changes, etc..

but hey, if I can make it through three weeks of liquid pre op, I should be able to make it through anything, right?? :-)

I'll admit to being scared about the surgery... having severe sleep apnea and being put under scared the daylights out of me. But, in the end it was all worth it. Once you go home you'll realize that it was all worth doing, and you'll be glad the hospital part is behind you... :)

Nerves are a normal phase to LBS. There'd be something wrong with you, if you weren't a little nervous about the changes you're about to face.

Just know, its worth it!

Try to keep your mind on the knew and improved, healthier you. About cleaning out closets and drawers dozens of times ( think I've done that approx 7times now).

Keep your mind on the positive!

      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.
