I just called the hospital and got my date, it is August 8th!! I go for pre-op on the 25th!!!

Why am I so nervous?!? I almost felt sick when I accepted the date!! I know that sounds crazy...but this is MAJOR!! It's what I've been working toward since January, so why am I freaking out!!!

I know how you feel! I'm going thru the emotions right now. I got my date at the beginning of June and I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time to think about it much. Now that my day is around the corner on 7/3, I'm starting to be nervous to the point of not sleeping right and having palpitations!

Congratz in getting your surgery date!

      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.
