I'm scheduled to have my surgery in just 3 days and I'm having second thoughts...is this normal? I miss food. I miss eating. I'm worried that after the surgery I will feel unsatisfied with food, that I'll always be wanting to eat more even though my body says no. I'm worried that 1 year from now (or 2 or 4 or hell even 10 years from now) that I'll still feel like I want to eat more.

Jen- I'm having surgery in June & I'm freaking the heck out already!? I'm second guessing every little 'what if'!

We need to remember that the majority of people are so happy that they did it & that they wished they have had it sooner!

You got this!

I am glad to see that I'm not the only one who was having second thoughts! They called me yesterday with the time I'm suppose to come in, 5:30am, and I was like...okay, I can do this! And I felt better about it after last night when my husband had friends over and they ordered pizza and I made dip and brownies and I wanted to eat it so bad, but I didn't. I'm ready to do this, I just wish my brain would shut up for a little bit!

I was going to have gastric bypass 2 years ago and I backed out about 5 days before the surgery. I just wasn't ready yet, now I wish I would have went ahead and done it. I'm scheduled for the sleeve surgery in 3 weeks and I'm sure this time will be easier

I'm hungry too. I just want to eat a sandwich so damn bad! And of coursei just started my period and I haven't had one since high school (I just turned 30 and have severe PCOS) so I don't know if they will do surgery with that. Anyone know?

No issues for them to do the surgery when you are on your period. Many people get it immediately post op anyhow...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
