This is natural. I had a major breakdown a few days before surgery. I was nervous until I was under in the hospital. Just know that you're decision is best for you and be excited. Good luck.

I got them really bad when I was told that I was approved. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But I never had any problem once I got to the hospital. I shocked my self when I was so calm about the whole thing.

I fell ya. I am 4 weeks out and feeling good. I am sore in the port area but I don't feel anything else. You will be so happy. The process is fast. Before you know it you will be in the recovery room and it will be over. I was scared too. I wrote out letters to people and that brought me comfort. I 'm tellin ya everything will be A-OK. This is exciting. Once you are home in your own bed everything just seems safer. Atleast for me it did. Good Luck, this is safe, think happy thoughts and ask for the good drugs.lol

      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.
