Yes, this is totally normal... I've been through lap band surgery before, a removal, and now this... I have felt both scared AND excited, each time. Here's to your sleeve! :(

YES! I'm the 25th too. So far I'm just excited and haven't been scared yet, although visualizing the last few moments with my husband and son before they wheel me off to surgery causes some anxiety. I expect to get very little sleep the night before and to be very anxious the morning of... looking forward already to getting the happy drugs they put in the IV early on. :laugh0:

I am the 25th too! I am feeling very excited and the only thing I am nervous about is the post diet. I am positive that I will feel some anxiety that morning, but I fully intend to ask for some relaxing medicine beforehand!

I was sleeved on Jan. 14th and yes you are SO right. There are so many emotions that will go through you until you get on the operating table but it will be worth it!!

Hang in there girl. We're all rootin' for ya.

      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.
