My day is coming up really quick and I'm getting very nervous!! This will be my first surgery that I've had and I'm just praying it will be okay. I have been planning this for such a long time, now that I'm almost there I'm scared. Is anyone else feeling like this?

red31, I have had surgeries in the past and I'm still feeling scared. I think it is a mix of excitement and worry. But it will be ok. This is becoming a common surgery and I'm sure you have done a lot of research before now. We are going to be great!

Had my Workshop and Dr. Visit yesterday..... My initial visit I was at 397lbs and yesterday's weigh in I was at 365lbs my BMI went down from 58 to 51. I started my liquid diet yesterday and feeling pretty good today! I'm working on the sip sip sip thing that's going to be a big one for me! My pre-op weight they want me at 330lbs so I'm confident it won't be a problem...

Great job!! That is wonderful progress :)

I'm just doing what my NUT told me

shakes throughout the day, unlimited leafy greens (lettuce, kale, broccoli), calorie free dressing, and Water. I'm also drinking Isopure zero carb Protein Drinks. I'm sure it will probably slow down as I keep going.

      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.
