... laid in bed constantly wondering and worrying about the decision to have WLS and adding to it leaving the country to do it... wishing your brain would SHUT UP and let you sleep?

Paigers- I think about it 24/7. I am obsessed with my surery. What is hard is my husband does not agree with my decision and will not even speak about it. I feel very alone but I will not change my mind. I really hop I run into you there. Talk soon and hang in there.

I've had to swamp myself with school work, music, sleep, ANYTHING to distract me. I don't even have a date yet but I'm obsessed with my surgery. It's become my life in the last few weeks.

I am going nuts too, trying to decide which doctor, or even should I do the surgery!! I have no support from family. They think I should lose the weight on my own and should never consider going to Mexico. (I am self pay). I am up at 3am looking on this board everynight, lurking, searching, trying to find answers. Going NUTS!!

I can totally relate. I did a lot of research b4 making my decision on whether to go at all and which doc to use. As for my support system... They are reluctantly supportive. They don't agree with my choice but they've chosen to stand behind me... grudgingly.

      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.
