I am excited but very nauseated and have had a headache for days..i can't believe surgery already here on Weds. It's been a long 6 months of waiting! I am in Arizona' date=' and have 4 weeks off work.[/quote']

Sorry to hear u haven't been feeling well...I am sure the stress and emotional roller coaster we are all on isn't helping. The nerves are starting to settle in...ugh. I just keep thinking of the absolute worst scenarios. Sure that is probably normal. I am in Utah and I am expected back on work on Monday!! I do not believe that is realistic but without short term disability insurance I have to do my best.

I'm actually feeling the same way today was actually the first day I really started to miss regular food. I'm thinking b/c of being around family and a lot of food today :(

What to do? Is this normal ?

Head hunger is killing me!! I went to Walmart tonight and it was like I was in a porn shop....such a guilty pleasure! Lol. I seriously could feel my mouth watering and I am sure I looked like a crazy person...staring intimately at all the food I couldn't have! Lol...oh well, I am sure this will pass!

      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.
