I'm right there with ya! I've had many surgeries (c-section, laparotomy for a tumor removal, laparoscopic procedures to remove adhesions, etc.), but I'm more scared of this one than any of the others. I'm realizing my mortality, I think. I don't want to leave my 5-year-old motherless. But I keep trying to remind myself that if I stay on this unhealthy path, I will be doing that too. I work in the legal field, so I'm aware of malpractice suits and that's what's scaring me, I think.

Yeah. I get to feeling that way too. But then I think of all of the reasons I need to do the surgery and it keeps me going. I have spinal problems and need this pressure off my spine and joints. Also have sleep apnea and high bp. This surgery is gonna be a lifesaver.

April.

      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.
