June 4th here. Start preop tomorrow. It really just hot me tonight and now I'm in anxiety scared mode. I know this is normal for some people but I don't like it. I'm doing the "what if's". Is anybody else feeling this way?

I'm also scheduled for June 4th.. I was excited at first but the what ifs already started with me too! I know I'm doing the right thing for my health. I keep changing the what ifs from negative to positive ones. Try to stay positive! We will do great! Good luck to you!

Thank you. I'm trying to stay positive. I know it's what's right for me. I've just gotta stay focused and remember how excited I was when I received my surgery date. I can't let the fear get the best of me. Thank you for replying, it's always calming to talk about it. Good luck to you :)

      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.
