Hello again, I am in New Haven CT, Yale GI group, bariatric surgeons. I was nervous for a few days, pretty badly, going over the reality of big changes to be made and difference of things after it's done led me to some pent up fears coming out, right now though i am fine. Remnd yourself that what you wanted and thought before was bigger than just the fears, put them aside and feel the better things you think to get done. I was thinking it all at the same time and now am just working on the needs for the few weeks before and after plus the short hospital stay, this replaced the fear cloud I was in.

So where are you at ? sorry it took so long to answer.

if you want help or something you can give a hollar.

      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.
