It is a natural reaction to be apprehensive before any surgery. All of the doubts you posted seem like they are due to lack of support from the people around you. The question to ask is are you ready for permanent change? If this is something that you decide is right for you, then put those other fears to rest and know that we are here to help.

Bless your heart! It's gonna be okay. I think that is why I'm not telling anyone. I just don't need the added stress. I know it's the right choice for me and that's that. Stand your ground.I kinda worry about the separation thing too. Is that common? I honestly don't think it's going to be like that. The way I see it, if you are a volume eater and it only takes a small amount of food to give you the same satisfaction that there really won't be any separation. Good luck! :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.
