My surgery is on the 19th too! I've been freaking out all weekend. I'm starting my 24 hour liquid fast' date=' and I'm starving. I guess this is when the mental strength needs to kick in, because I really have no idea when I'm going to have any nourishment in my stomach again. And I'm suddenly scared of everything. I keep imagining how scared I'll be when they give me the anesthesia, and I'm so scared of pain and nausea when I wake up. I think I need that sedative NOW![/quote']

I was banded on the 14th and had a 7 day liquid diet. I went through the same anxiety and fears. I came very close to completely calling it all off. I think my emotional roller coaster was worse the week before than it has been after. Luckily my husband was there and helped talk me off the ledge. Just remember you deserve to be healthy and if you could do it on your own you would have done it already. You are worth it!!!! Good luck and you have all of us here for support. :)

Omg! That is exactly how i feel. I kinda got over the anesthesia part after my endoscopy. But, its the feeling of nausea or vommiting that im worried about. I cheated everyday on my liquid diet and my surgery is tmrw at 2p. I know so many people from work that had this done recently and they all had different experiences. Ughhhh!!!!

For the nausea, ask the nurse to give you several alcohol swabs. For immediate relief open swab and put and keep under nose for a few minutes. Every time I received my morphine dose I had horrible nausea my nurse offered this to me. She was my godsend.

      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.
