I felt the same fear. I am a nurse, so I thought of disasters, I was not even told about LOL I was terrified of the drain, I cant take pain meds, so was terrified of how I would deal, I was so worried about nausea from anestesia, wow I had quite a list of fears. Truth is, I did not use any pain meds after except the liquid tylenol, iv drip. Besides when I had to sit up, I honestly was comfortable, and the next week on thursday, I was at yard sales. The drain was weird, but so quick I did not have time to even worry, I wish the nausea was just as easy, but for me, I always react to anestesia, and I knew ahead of time, zopran and phetergine, would not work, so it was a challenge for me for 3 days, and then ended as quick as it came. During that time, it was rough, but looking back now, I was very lucky. You will be fine, just listen to what your body needs. In a week, you will wonder why you let yourself get so worried :) prayers to you all, and speedy recovery

      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.
