I am so glad to hear I'm not alone with this. Even though' date=' I know this is one of the best decisions I will be making, I can't help but thinking of all the things that will go wrong. Not so much in the surgery room itself, but life after. Will I be able to eat, will I be able to drink, will I get dehydrated, will I end up in the hospital for a ulcer or hernia, will I be sick all the time....and the list goes on and on. I go from excited one minute, to thinking about cancelling the next. I don't think I'm having as much of an issue with the food persay. For me it is the coffee and diet POP, I don't want to give up. Ugh! And I thought all this emotional stuff was going to happen after surgery not before! Im trying so hard to get mentally prepared, but I guess I will have deal with things as they come.[/quote']

Oh I know what you're going through....I had the same fears Pre-op. and even just out if surgery. I asked myself "what have I done??" This is permanent!!! I just kept reminding myself that it was the best decision for my health and that I had given it enough time and thought that I know I was making the right choice. I'm 13 days post op and I now feel a lot better, I wouldn't change a thing!!! 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.
