I know everyone says its normal to get jitters...but this is out of control. I barley sleep and this surgery consumes my every conversation and thought. I guess I need a lil pep talk....only two DAYS!!!

That's normal. Had my surgery on Aug.14th and it's funny I wasn't nervous at all. Everything will be great, you will be ok. Try and stay busy that's what I did. My house has never been so clean. Make sure you keep posted how everything turns out. Good luck and sending you best wishes.

I'm having mine on the same day as well. I'm a bit nervous but mainly excited. I can't wait to get off the preop diet because I move straight to full liquids. Good luck, you'll do great!

Mine is on Tuesday In Salisbury md. I'm more excited than scared. Don't think about it and pause for a moment and paint the picture of your future.

My surgery is on Tues. and I'm excited right now but ask me tomorrow and Monday - who knows, But no matter what my emotions may try to say, my brain knows this is the right thing. I just made some Protein Shake popsicles for next week and I'm only reading the totally positive posts. I've read all the scary ones and gotten past that idea. I'm going to be fine. Period.

      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.
