I felt the same exact way! I am so happy for you that you are getting your surgery tomorrow - you are definitely on your way! You are gonna be ok & you will be happy with your results. Just follow your doctor's instructions and do your part and you will be happy with your decision. I wish you the very best of luck :) Take good care of yourself :)

Its scary because you are changing the entire way that you eat, but you will get used to it. You will just have to do a little more preparing for just yourself. I prepare my Breakfast & lunch every day to take to work. Just make sure you have the foods that you are allowed to have in your house and that will help. Its attainable, it really is.

It's totally normal to feel this way! I think everyone feels this way, or I know I did! Congrats on the start of your new healthy life. Just get it into your head that you can do this, precisely follow your doctor's instructions and you'll do great! Keep us updated on how you're doing after your surgery!

You will totally do fine. You just have to know it is not easy, it isn't fast and you have to have patience like never before.

      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.
