Okay so I'm 19 years old and have PCOS, high insulin, and might even have problem with my thyroid soon due to family genes! I'm absolutely nervous about the whole thing and my nerves are going crazy! My family and friends support me 100% because I've tried alone and due to having PCOS and high insulin I gain weight for nothing. :(

I'm 2 months away from having my surgery! And I'm terrified! Is there anyone out there that has any ideas on how to keep calm before? Obviously I can't see a therapist because I have to get cleared by one and I don't think having anxiety problem will help my case. Lol.

Anyone else have any ideas? Or stories that will help me?

Hi girl,

Don't be scared...I was the same, had diabetes, anxiety, the whole mess...

I had surgery on December 11, and the worry was much worse than the surgery!!! I had limited amount of pain, was able to eat to pureee within one week, and I feel better and healthier than ever before! I have diabetes, and have been able to go off of all medication including insulin.

this is a wonderful opportunity, and will make your life better and healthier :-)

      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.
