Congratulations. I am sure you will fine. I have been put under many times and I am still ticking away. Have you shared that info with the doctor? They like to know your concerns etc.

That is most ppls fears, having never had surgery before, but let me ease your concerns. I have be put out more time than I can remember and its the best part of any procedure. One minute you're there, then your gone and it seems like a minute and you're back again.

Just remember, the Drs and anesthesiologist are professionals, they're there to keep you alive and well. You are well monitored for any signs of distress and taken care of.

You'll do great! Keep your eye's on the prize and don't allow yourself to think of "what if's".

      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.
