Hello--I am new here and saw your post and my surgery is scheduled for February 28th, too. Very excited, nervous, anxious, and almost oblivious to other things as my mind is thinking of this all the time. I think that Feb 28 though is a great day for surgery. Good luck with yours and we will have to touch base again. :rolleyes:

My name is Shelly, 42 yrs old, married,1 son, an RN and I live in Illinois :) I feel the same way. One day I'm beyond excited then the next I'm frantic and I think I should postpone lol It doesn't help me when I read some of the horror stories that happen :( I know this is the right choice for me though. My son (19 yrs) was sleeved in December and is down 94 pounds (30 before surgery and 64 in last 2 months) I know this works:) Good luck to all of us and we definitely need to stay in touch!!

I live in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I have 3 kids and my youngest is due to graduation this spring. My oldest daughter is the mother of 3 adorable grandchildren. I want to be able to play and run around with them, not just sit around on the couch because I don't have the energy. I want to be around many more years so I am praying that this is the way to accomplish that. I am really glad to have others to talk to about it who are experiencing the same thing.

I had to start my diet the 18th and having trouble with only one part of it, but it is the start of a new life so I can do this. I keep thinking if I could have had this kind of control all these years I would not have to do this, but the only reason I have the resolve to do it is for the surgery and a new beginning. Guess it does not do me any good to dwell on what got me here as long as I change that behavior. Only one week to go!!

That's how I feel too! It makes me just want to dump everything out of the house but considering other people live here I can't do that! I have had a couple of small pieces of cheese and some turkey just to satisfy me a little. I decided early on if I HAD to cheat it just had to be low in fat...

I made my first trip to the grocery store since I started the diet as I had to get stuff for the family. I did find a couple things that I could get for me, hoping that it will help me get past this (sugar-free drinks and jell-o) but the little things that normally would not care so much about sound and smell so good. It has been a challenge, but it is getting closer to the day that starts the new beginning. Counting down has even more meaning now :)

      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.
