My Time has started - I AM SCARED



Recommended Posts

Hello I am Sarah and I started this process over two years ago. I first started with insurance then lost my job and went to the whole Mexico thing. Research so much that I thought I knew everything however that was not true LOL. I am now back to the insurance process in the USA and almost done witht he approval process. This has been very stressful "HURRAY UP AND WIAT" LOL

I have my date set for 12/31/13 what a way to bring in the new year. I am really scard that I am going to fail this process and be fat for the rest of my life. Everyone say that I will do fine but I just am worried...

Does anyone else have this same fear?

I was scared but so ready for surgery. You will do fine, keep a POSITIVE attitude, do what the surgeon tells you to do and you will be OK. Good luck and Happy New Year !

Congrats on your surgery date first of all! Second of all, RELAX! You will not fail if you follow your surgeon's plan! It sounds like you have jumped through hoops to make this happen, so you obviously WANT it. You have also done your research so you should know what to expect. I am fairly sure that EVERYONE has the same fear of failing when going into such a big surgery because we have all failed at dieting before.

It is important to remember that this is only a "tool" and you must continue to do your part!

the weight WILL come off and you will be amazed! :D I wish you the best of luck and remember that we are here if and when you need some support! 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.
