Those are absolutely normal feelings to be having, I would be worried if you weren't scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. You've got this girl, you will do fabulous. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it.

I understand where you're coming from. Last Sunday night (8/4), I was crying as I put my little boy and little girl to sleep. On Monday morning, I was saying my hail marys and our fathers (like a good catholic). They took me in, and the next thing I knew I was sleeved and saw my smiling wife standing there. You can do this, and your life will be better. It's crazy... I'm only a week out, but I can tell how different I approach food. It's a bit like a weight off my back (or should I say my stomach). Good luck tomorrow, and good luck with your new normal!

      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.
