I know it...I had a breast reduction some years ago and for some reason that didn't scared me as much. I am thinking about my internal body parts and I guess I don't want anything to happen to them. I don't know...

I did this yesterday. I met with Dr Morton (nashville) yesterday, surgery date is the 20th and I was crying in the parking lot of the hospital to my husband asking him if this is the right thing. I wonder if everyone goes through this. I know it will work, I watched my friend go thru the surgery in Feb and know she weighs 130!!!!!!!! That has motivated me more than anything!!!!!!!!

I've decided to go ahead and go through with it. I hope doctor Madan will do the surgery...so far all those nervous feelings have subsided. So how do you feel? I'm hoping I will have my surgery at Methodist University Hospital, I DO NOT like the Med! How much have you loss? I have so many questions!

Thanks Bexleygal! I am ready now...I go tomorrow for the upper GI test at Methodist University Hospital. Nicole said as soon as those tests come back she will give me a surgery date. How do you feel after the upper GI tes?

      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.
