My surgery is October 14th. I am nervous and excited. I'm not worried about complications as much as I am the emotional adjustment after surgery. food has always been my go to for any reason so I am working on new interests and hobbies. I don't want to replace my food addiction with another poor choice.

Congratulations on your 11 pound loss! Keep at it!

With any surgery you are scared but I just don't want anything bad to happened

Do you trust your surgeon? Does he have a good track record? Be sure to ask lots of questions and try to connect with other patients who have used the same surgeon. That may alleviate some of your anxiety about surgery. If you read through the forums you will find that the good outweigh the bad as far as surgeries without complications. Good luck. Just think, in a little more than a month we will both be sleeved and on our way to better health!

      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.
