Well it's the night before my Surgery and my husband and oldest child think I'm.going to die on the operating table. They both hate it. Not the way I wanted to go into this. My other three boys are oblivious to it all.

Blessings to you Sassy!!!!

I'm going through the samething on my end. My mom and boyfriend have had me in tears all day because they are convinced of the same. However, I have to do what's best for me and I'm just going to count on my faith. Best of luck to you tomorrow. I know were gonna do GREAT!!!!!.

Hi everyone this is my 1st post! I'm more of a stalker on the site...love reading all the material...I finally decided to post on this thread because my date is set for Sept 28. I started my journey in July 2012.. I completed all the pre op requirements..did not have to do the 6 mon monitoring thank goodness!! The surgeon office was a bit disorganized but I am sort of a take charge kind of gal...my insurance is with Tricare- North Region and I'm Prime Remote...for all of you Tricare people amazingly, they approved me on the 1st go around and within 3 days of my submission!!!! WoW I know!! My BMI was 39.6 but I have 1 comorb...Hypertension so that did it...I'm SCARED to death but thankful for the opportunity and looking forward to the new healthy results.. Just like others, I now feel I need to eat everything in sight afraid I may never be able to eat or drink again..lol and I didn't have to lose or do the fatty liver diet!!

      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.
