I am starting to freak out. Worrying something will go wrong and I won't get to have surgery. Worrying about after surgery will I be able to stick to the rules. Im freaking myself out!! I have my pre op class on thursday and two weeks from today is surgery. Praying for some peace.....

I Just went through the same feelings this past weekend! But, after thinking about everything, I have concluded that I Can Do This! WE Can do this!! Before surgery, our tummys are still big and hungry but After surgery, it'll be different. We will be able to stick to it bcs we're going to eat differently and get more active. We're going to have healthier lives and better times ahead! Stay Positive. You can do this!! :-)

You'll be at the top of the stairs and hopping into your coaster seat before you know it!! And don't get sick after the ride... OK?!!

      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.
