I am having surgery the 28th and have to be in the hospital by 7am which means I need to be out of my house by 545am. I'm excited and stressed. My pre-op diet is going, I'm trying and that's all that matters. Hope everyone is well.

I am completely freaking out. I have been seeing a therapist regarding emotional eating. I have not felt fear since 1987. Since getting in touch with my emotions and not stuffing them with food I am really feeling my emotions. OMGosh. I am having trouble sleeping and concentrating. My tummy is doing crazy things. I need to get it together. Surgery is right around the corner (4/14/14).

Thankfully I have supportive people around me. My employees are super supportive. One is even going to do the pre-op with me! My family have all come around and are supportive of me. I know I will be fine. I have faith in my doctor and I know I am doing the right thing. The reality is setting in now.

I keep repeating 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Are any of you feeling the nerves?

Hi, I'm in pembroke pines and having my surgery April 7. I had my pre op tests done yesterday. I am self pay so the process has been fairly quickly. My fiance has been nothing but supportive and will be with me at the hospital. My emotions and thoughts are all over the place but I have to do this for myself.

best of luck to all April sleevers.

PhatCat oh yes! I'm normally in bed by 9 and 2am is the new norm. :/. I know I just need to make it to surgery day and all will be fine. I think I just have too much darn time to think. I ran a red light this morning because of lack of sleep I think. :/ I've done enough thinking though and running through every scenario possible that I am mentally prepared for all that comes along with this. I think nerves is normal. I just hope I don't give myself an ulcer before the 16th comes.

Then I also have the super excited feeling and anxious like I wish I was over this hump already. I know that we will be fit and fabulous really soon. Trying to stay positive. We got this.

      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.
