I'm new here. My surgery date is June 26th and now it's all starting to hit me that this is real. This is really happening and I'm freaking out! I'm glad I found this forum and look forward to having support from those going through the same thing. I guess I just need assurance that all will be ok

Hi everything will be ok....there is no hunger after the surgery...it will be some pain from the incisions and extreme exhaustion from the anesthesia , but it is so worth it...it's a whole new life and a whole new way of looking at food...it doesn't taste the same which I think helps with not craving certain things anymore ... I just found this forum and I'm glad to finally be able to chat with real people , good luck

This is my first post & I'm new here too! I'm scheduled for June 20 which is now less than a week away. I've done massive amounts of research and consider myself completed educated on the procedure but I'm freaking out anyway. I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of not being hungry. I'm also very nervous about the surgery but excited too. Weird feeling but everytime I've taken a risk in life it always turned out to be for the best. Just keep beleiving in yourself and everything else will work out :)

      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.
