I too have all the " freak out" emotions you guys are having here's my problem! I work in the operating room, have assisted on countless bypass surgeries. So this should be a no brainer for me! But I'm with everything you all are saying! Some very good ideas I will be trying, thank you for the fabulous ideas, wishing all of you success and a speedy recovery!

I totally feel the same way peachee... I am two days out and have a blizzard of thoughts and worries going through my head. Thanks Dawn for the great perspective' date=' the letter idea is great and Eva summed it up well reminding myself to keep in mind why I am doing this. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. We'll all be on the losers bench soon and will need the support.[/quote']

Hi there eeyoregirl, waves at you and smiles . Tomorrow is the big day for us! I can't believe it's finally here. How are you doing? How was the liquid diet for you? Last few days on the liquid diet were tough I have to admit, I was soOooo STARVING. Today I met with my surgeon and we went over everything, he said all my tests look great. I'm looking forward to no more diabetes meds and a healthier lifestyle. I'm a little anxious today, but am excited about starting my new life. Today is liquids only Jello, Water, broth and crystal lite, I'm beyond hunger and I have a major headache. I have pictures of haircut styles and color I want after my surgery, also have pics of cloths And a sign on my fridge that says "don't reward yourself with food, you are not a dog" I'll be thinking of you and praying all goes well. Oh BTW I lost 18 lbs on the preop diet. Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP

      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.
