I have had a rough two days! Surgery on Tuesday they call me on Friday at 3:30 and tell me that I need to pay nearly 4000.00 before surgery. I am just devastated as I do not have that just readily available. I have to complete my scope procedure Monday but if can't get it paid why do I need to do that. So I am in a pickle do I continue with liquid diet or eat? I am going to beyond mad if I have given 11 days of my life up only not to have surgery. Need some advice fast please. Been trying to handle this but emotion is getting the best of me now.

My prayers are with you - I hope everything works out. To come this far and have such a big set back is awful! Keep thinking positive!

I think you just said it.... You really really need this. It's cold feet. Remember you want to do this for your family and your life. Don't come this far and back out now.

Don't feel horrible... Just get back on track. I'm on the last day of the 2 week diet. I haven't cheated, but it was definitely very hard. You can do it. What really helped my was that I weighed myself after 6 days & I lost 11 lbs. that made me feel so good & know that its all worth it! Just keep telling yourself "I can do this" and know there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

      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.
