Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date scheduled for April 27th!! I am so excited, nervous, scared, and sad all at the same time. Why am I crying? I know I am doing the right thing here but I have soooo many emotions.

I have been overweight all my life and now and I am 126 pounds overweight and feel like I need this tool in order to help become a healthier me. Is it normal to feel sad like this?

One more thought: I personally think that elective surgery is an overwhelmong thought in itself. But, like you, trying to lose a great deal of weight, over and over, is about as overwhelming a task and thought as it gets! We're going to feel so much better! Stay busy------you're going to be so happy.

HiP hIp HoOrAy!!! That is awesome news... :D

I just recently got my date too it's for April 4th. I know exactly what you are talking about. It's crazy how you can feel sooo many different emotions at one time and it can be very much overwhelming. You just need a little time to process it give it the rest of the day...

How exciting. I'm a little anxious as well.

My surgery date is April 8th and I'm glad to see there are a few others on the same day or around it.

I'm new to the site but I have been following and reading for over a month now. I find it very informative.

      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.
