My surgery is in about 2 weeks, and I start my nutrition class tomorrow. I'm starting to get the nervous fat girl problems! I'm worried I'll never be able to eat again or enjoy food anymore! is this true? and the holidays are coming up what do we do about holidays? This is another reason I wanted the surgery because I feel my life revolves around food lol Ugggh! I need to calm down.. Did anyone regret the surgery? or their decision to have the surgery? :huh:

Hi, I am getting nervous as well, my surgery is in a week . I sometimes think to myself and say I can do it again with no surgery. But that only crosses my mind for a few minutes. If I did 1 diet I did 1 too many and regained all I lost what makes me think I can do it again by dieting.. so on with the journey. Tonight I have a split sleep study. I started the last phase of pre-op diet which is the liquid diet N so far so good. No more self doubting...let us get it done...

Thank you for Sharing. I am tired of the yoyo diet and weight. I have closets full I might fit in that clothes if and when I lose the weight. I know now that I will be able to enjoy those clothes on this journey (but just for a bit) and be able to give them away because they are too big and I am extremely excited knowing in the near future I can go shopping in any department store and shop and buy smaller fashion styles of clothes....... Holidays here I come with a new attitude, a new body, a new healthier mind and I will be styling. Lol...thank you again for sharing...

      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.
