It is so natural to feel nervous before your surgery. I was excited, nervous and scared all at the same time. I got through it by just reminding myself of the prize, a happier, healthier me who will be around for a long time.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how everything goes!

Thank you Susan! I totally was ready I

Have worked really hard on my liquid diet ( I ate a few saltines when I had nausea ) but other wise I was completely ready until right now! Ugh! But you are right Susan this is what I need to do for a happy healthy me. Thanks again! Guess I just needed a little reassurance!

I have surgery on Tuesday also and I am anxious scared excited all at once. I worry it will fail like all other diets failed before. I worry I will have a serious complication. I also worry if I don't have the surgery the obesity will kill me so I choose to trust my surgeon, and I know I have a husband who supports me and great people on here who are rooting for me to achieve success. We will both do great!!!

I'm scheduled for 10/15 and I'm also scared, but I know that this has to be done! I'm 29 and have been fat my entire life since as far back as I can remember. I am feeling better by reading others people experiences and success. Good luck to you. Stay strong!

My surgeon told me if I hadn't been nervous/anxious/scared that I wouldn't be 'normal' and he'd worrry. I got sleeved 8/21, nerves and all. :-)

      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.
