I share the same emotional roller coaster ride of happy then scared. I'm starting to make my purchase for surgery list based on some of the advice of veteran Sleevers and hope to began collecting things slowly beginning next week. I've discovered some really cool things that was very helpful after surgery during recovery even while still in hospital.

Lioness, this is YOUR time! There's no way in the world that you can continue to give your all to everyone else in your life and continue to deny yourself. YOU'VE GOT TO DO THIS FOR YOU!!! No better time than the present! Shucks, it won't take six months for you too look back...I'm one month out and look at the changes and hear the comments from folks and I absolutely, undoubtedly know that this was one of the best decisions EVER!!!!!

Lioness believe it or not I gave all of me to my family to the point I lost myself. It's like I put off any and everything dealing with me to fulfill the needs of my hubby, our children, my mother, and siblings. Sad to say if you had asked me what made me happy 1 year ago I probably couldn't have told you because my life had been taken care of and pleasing everyone else. If this is truly what YOU want then do this for you. From what I've read on here and my own personal experience this WLS journey is an emotional roller coaster. I won't be sleeved until March but I have times I'm so excited I can't sleep then other times I'm scared worrying about the what if's. I must say even with the emotional roller coaster I feel I've made the best decision in the best interest of me and can't wait for my big day to arrive and I'm sleeved.

Hang in there! There is so much positive energy and support on these boards. I definitely enjoy having the ability to connect with others in various stages of the WLS journey. Best of luck to you and be sure to let us know how your surgery goes.

      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.
