My initial bariatric doc and nutritionist appt. is Wed. I meet with surgeon next week. I'm amazed at how nervous I am to just go to the appts and I do want this surgery. I'm just really scared. Was anyone else nervous even before the initial appts?

I was excited at my appts but today is totally different, my surgery may be pushed up early than what I thought and since I wasn't expecting it I am all nerves. But everything will work out in the end.

Oh, yeah, feel free to join the nervous wreck club! I was full of doubts and anxieties pre-surgery.

What if I was the one WLS does not work for?

Do I really want to have my stomach cut out?

How are people going to treat me when they find out?

How am I going to adjust to being thin after 46 years of being the biggest guy in the room?

I had all these fears and doubts, but I finally committed and have never regretted having WLS.

Here's my "last straw" video that made me make the choice. The 2nd video is my pre-op freak out. :-P

      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?

      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.
