kkrose, The reason I named myself ChristmasJanet is because I too thought I would be having the surgery in December or at least early January, but then I freaked out and put off some of the evaluations and stalled out. I am hoping to have the surgery done in March. I should know more after I have my nutritionist visit on Monday. We are going to be brave now!

Dear I was questioning this up until the mask was going over my face on the OR table! It's normal and for a couple of weeks after you will say what the hell did I do?! But in the end as I sit here at goal and 6 pills down from what I had to take... I am a happy camper and you will be too. We are addicted to food. It's hard because you just can give it up but you can have a better relationship with it and you will!

Yes, without a doubt it is 110% normal! I was the same way and when I woke up from surgery within hours was like 'all this anxiety and worrying, so wasn't worth it'. It's totally normal, it is a life changing surgery. I am four months post op and it is the best thing I have ever done.

kkrose Thanks for asking. I am doing well. I was supposed to have my surgery April 2, but I am postponing indefinitely for numerous reasons. :wacko: on the upside, I am exercising and have been dropping a little on my own. When is your date? I see March 2014. Have you already had the surgery? I hope all goes really, really well for you!

      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.
