These feelings are normal. I was scared too..I knew that once I got to the hospital I would be ok. I spent 3 months getting prepared for it...seeing the cardiologists, the nutritionist, and the shrink....I kept telling myself...I was going to feel better getting this surgery. That was my mantra the night before...I still got scared...but 7 months out...I feel great. No regrets at all. I have sooo much more energy now that I am 52 #s down. shake your fears off and go for it.

Good to hear from you. Take it easy tomorrow....follow your surgeons directions and you should do fine. I would suggest you get some crushed ice to help with your Water intake...and a heating pad will help your upper back for gas...just will soothe you warming you. Be careful getting up...roll to your side then push up with your arms....go slow....it will get better as each day passes! Hang in there! :)

      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.
