Omg I am so nervous ! I have suffered from anxiety for the past few years and have been able to control it however it has gotten worse as this date closes In on me!!! I don't know if this is normal ! I have had 3 surgeries before and dnt think I was this nervous ! But I have an aunt who's telling me that my marriage is going to fail after my surgery because I am going to replace the food with sex , drugs or bar hoping! Any advice?

first tell your aunt to shut the h*** up. There is always someone that has something negative to say....and really they dont know much about anything.. *RME*... terrible.

Second, try to relax (i know that is hard to do). But you are making a choice to become healthier...it can only go up hill from here. You will do great!!!

Yeah, don't listen to anyone who's not supportive. I don't think anyone comes to this decision lightly. And maybe you'll replace eating with exercising, gardening or something else that's healthy. Yes, relationships will probabkly change. But hopefully for the better.

Take care and good luck on Tuesday!

Hi. Please don't listen to any negative comments. I can't tell you how this surgery has improved my life. I had a great marriage before my surgery but now - 4 months after - its fantastic. My husband is constantly telling me how great I look. Clothes shopping is fun now. And food is way better! Why? Because I'm eating much more frequently. And I'm alot more selective in my food choices. I eat what I want and I'm not on a diet anymore.

You are making the right decision. Your aunt may mean well-but she's wrong.

Good luck!! We're all here for you.

Hey! My surgery was Jan 18th in Mexico with Dr. Kelly. I'm down 39.4 lbs (I weigh every day because it's fun now). My friends keep telling me how great I look and that is so rewarding. I still have about 75 lbs to go-but I don't look like a middle-aged pork chop anymore. I caught a glimpse of my face in a mirror yesterday in the mall and I couldn't believe it was me! My face is so much thinner. I love this sleeve. I wish I had done this years ago but I only heard about it this past November. I jumped on it and haven't looked back since.

      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.
