Wow, Sumsuz68, everything you just said could have been written by me. The doubts, the 3 kids, not super big, the blood pressure meds, the sleep apnea. Good luck, I'm sure everything will be ok! Even better than ok, it will be a whole new life. I'm on March 8, so I'm a week behind you.

Do you need me to shoot your devil on your shoulder too? Good luck! Are you on your pre op diet now? 1 more week for me. Woo hoo!

Wow, bigdaddyjoe. We really are alike! I just looked at your profile and we have the same amount of weight we want to lose, only 2 years apart and Ben the same birthday month. Too funny!

I'm March 1st. Way to start a month with a bang! So looking forward to it, but I do have this annoying devil on my shoulder whispering things like is it the right thing to do? What If something happens? You have 3 children counting on u...what if things go wrong? I'm not super big (35 BMI), but obviously I'm big enough if they are allowing me to have surgery. If I don't do it now I know I will keep going up up up and having to get on more meds. I need this tool like nobodies business. I need to get off my sleep apnea machine and lood pressure meds. Will someone please shoot this stupid devil on my shoulder?!

I'm march 1 too. I'm also not that big 33-34 bmi. I have the same devil on my shoulder too trying to razz up my anxieties!

I'm shooting for March 7th. I have my stress echo, one month followup with my dr. and psych eval tomorrow. On Monday, I have my Upper GI, Nutrition consult, and sleep Study. I've heard my dr. does a lot more preop testing than most, but better safe than sorry! :)

I started my clear liquid/protein shake diet today. Is anyone else feeling like gagging from the texture of the shakes? Any suggestions?

PS.... Add me to the list please! :)

      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.
