My date is set

March 24,2013 is my date! I will have surgery in La Jolla, CA at Wittgrove Bariatric center Scripps with Dr. Wittgrove. I want to do this all right, but I'm scared to fail. I'm also really scared of having tons of loose skin. I'm 5'9 240 and would like to weigh 160. My highest weight was 262 6 years ago and I started VSG insurance requirements January 2014. How bad was the liquid to mushy food to solid food stages? I'm nervous about liquids only. I tried a liquid diet once and lasted a day it was so horrible! Any feedback or advice would be great! I know my thoughts are all over the place, but just writing what's on my mind

Congratulations on getting a date! I'm on day 8 of the pre-op liquid diet and I'm not going to lie...it pretty much sucks. However, it gets much, much better about day 3. If you can make it through the first couple of days, you will feel much better. I had a horrible headache on day 2 and way super cranky and emotional...but now I don't notice the hunger so much. It's also important to stay hydrated throughout. I notice that I get hungrier on days when I don't get in all of my fluids. Plus...it's only 2 weeks to a better life...I can do anything for 2 weeks. Good luck to you!
