Man - my surgery isn't until the 23rd - and I'm seriously having a hard time concentrating on my job or ANYTHING else!!!! Anyone else having this problem? I need to get my work done - and my head is pretty much NOT in it at all! All I can think about is this surgery!!!

When I was on the 2 week pre-op liquid diet, I got scatterbrained too. I don't think the diet had alot to do with it. I think the problem was that I was so single-mindedly focused on what I needed to do to keep my head in the game that all other things went to the back burner. Not to worry.....it will get better after surgery

My date is also 5-23 and I'm completely obsessed. Sneaking to the bathroom to check this site. I really need to concentrate at work. Can't wait till it's done and there's no more second guessing.

LOL - soooo glad to know it's not just me! I keep checking on the forum as well!

And Benjammin - I hear ya. I too am paying for mine. I still have $5100.00 to come up with - so on top of everything else - I'm stressing over that - waiting to hear on a loan. I think once that is set in stone - I will feel much better.

I agree with everyone - this forum is my new addiction! Trading one for the other! LOL Maybe it's because the majority of us have fought this battle for so long - and now that things are in motion - we can't wait to get our new lives started!

I was the same way prior to surgery. I ruud read on here every night and morning. I found it hard to think about anything else. Thankfully at three months out things are much better. It's all consuming and a huge change and you want to be sure you are ready. It will get better. Best wishes!

      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.
