(((Hugs)) you will be fine. I PROMISE! If i can do this ANYONE can! I am the biggest baby ever when it comes to being alone..Especially having surgery and in another country!! I just had to put my trust in God and pray about it. i truly believe if it wasn't meant for me to go something would have stopped me.

I had a melt down the night before and i was just going to cancel. Then My husband really made me feel better., I had came to far to give up now just because of what if's...I will never forget what he said, " You have to trust God and thank Positive, you cant go into this being negative, Being negative is only going to bring you negative outcomes" and that is so true because i could have let all that negative take control and I would have canceled and still been fat, unhealthy and unhappy with regrets later! But I thought positive and now i know i will be able to reach all my goals and also be a better mom, wife and friend since the weight will not be holding me back and having me in depressed moods where i just never want to leave the house!

      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.
