It's all so overwhelming... Most of the time I'm confident about this... But sometimes... Ya know?

I'm really wiggin out too. I have only done the passport part, I'm nervous about all of it. I've never flown, never booked a flight etc. and I haven't the slightest clue what to do once I get in the doors of the first airport. What to do when I get off my plane. I picture myself like a headless chicken. Usually In high stress situations I get a debilitating Migraine and that wouldn't help matters.

I want to see my pcp for anxiety meds or muscle relaxants but owe some money and might not be able to get in. Sigh.

Anyway, this isn't my tread I don't intend to take your thread over, but I just wanted you to know that I am wigging out too.

Of course you didn't take over. I knew I couldn't be the only one panicking. Have you considered googling: advice for 1st time flyers or something like that to offer step by step advice on how to make it seamless?

      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.
