Yeah today seems to be my freak out day! I have been so calm, relaxed and excited. Today I think I will try to stay busy because I am just really worried about failing even with this. I am guessing I just need a "hug". HaJones and I will be walking the halls together so that is making me a little less nervous since I will be in the hospital with no hubby/friends/family staying with me. Lisa is my surgery buddy too :) Surgery at 935am 26 Nov. Not worried anything will happen just the unknown and failing ...I think.

You will be fine :). You can use that energy to come clean my house lol...all I want to do is sleep. At least ive lost 12 lbs. I am going to finish painting trim and ceilings before surgery and work ahead a week in my classes. Those are my goals.

I went thru the exact same emotions after my appt with my surgeon yesterday!!! I called my husband and where I should have been jumping up and down excited all I wanted to do was cry! He was worried something had changed or been delayed because I was so upset..lol! I am sure it was reality sinking in for me. I do not see my surgeon again until the day of surgery and I am nervous and scared but I have continued to remind myself of the reasons why I started this and it helps to lessen the fear and put my goals back in prospective. I am sure you will do great :) the people here are pretty awesome and very supportive. Good luck to you!!!

Im so glad Im not alone feeling scared. It just got so real this week.

I am on Tuesday 27th. I am so hungry. My head hurts! I am focusing on that instead freaking. I know this is the right decision. My husband is sitting beside me eating Oreo ice cream and apple pie. I don't want it at all. I just feel empty.

I came home Thanksgiving day, very sore and a lot of left sided pain, it is hard to know when u are drinking too much. I am having a hard time determining when my pouch is full or if it just the swelling from surgery. Good luck!

      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.
