I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow. I am nervous and excited for surgery. I have never had surgery before so I'm nervous about the anesthesia and the pain. I have a very low pain tolerance. I am excited to be able to play with my 3 boys and be more active

M scheduled for my surgery April 26th and I was curious to see who else would be walking in the shoes of April with me. Tell me how you feeling? What's on your mind? Any worries? Second thoughts?

Hi Jimmygotsoul! My surgery is April 12th and I'm experiencing everything you mentioned above but the hubby has been helping me to keep calm and carry on. He asked me something that really made me think. He said "If you don't have the surgery will you be ok with things staying as they are and your health getting increasingly worse and then the surgery not be an option?" That really opened my eyes and had me thinking oh ****! What if my blood pressure got so bad that I could no longer have the surgery. Case closed...lol So I'm moving ahead to the 12th.

My surgery is April 11!!! I'm really excited and can't wait to get it over with but I'm getting more and more anxious as I read people's threads on here at least once a day I'm thinking is this the right thing for me? Am I just being lazy by not doing it on my own ? Being private pay I'm nervous about any complications and having to stay any additional nights. That being said I know that once I get this done I will be the type to do it 100% and will be successful . I'm naturally an anxious person so I know I'm overthinking this alot so if Any one has any positive advice bring it on anything to ease my anxiety !!!!

Hi Krissy! Mine is the 12th so let's keep in touch. :)

Hey y'all,

Well I guess I am the first April sleever, since Sunday is the first day of the week here in Kuwait, and I am going in tomorrow morning. Hopefully, I will be able to post good news soon. My sugery is set for 8:00am. That's seven hours ahead of EST. All positive energy and prayers are welcome. Take care!

      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.
