You will be FINE. The hardest part is when you are waiting. You'll sleep through the whole thing and when you wake up, you'll get the "good stuff" so you'll spend the next couple of days feeling good! Just know that you'll have gas/air to deal with, but that passes. I've had many types of surgery and it's always the best sleep ever!

I was so excited that I didn't sleep at all the night before. It is normal to be nervous but you will be soooo happy with the outcome, and the actual surgery becomes a distant memory! Best of luck to you!

How much have u lost @april. I hope I do well I feel very unprepared but I just think it's nerves.

I've lost 27 pounds since starting the preop diet. (HW 250 )12 of those pounds since surgery, so about a pound per day post op. i'm sure you'll do great!!

I was scared because I had cheated some on the pre-op diet.. but it didn't matter. I had done the last 24 hours perfectly so there was no problem!

I didnt know my surgery date until 5 days before... Until then, I had really been half-assing the pre-op diet. Then of course, I had to have my last hamburger (which of course wasn't really the last.. but I panicked lol). My surgery was on a tuesday and I didn't really get "with it" until Sunday.. I was afraid I was going to get cancelled but I hadn't gained any weight since my pre-op appointment. It was a non issue

I plan on reading a lot of inspirational threads on here and creating threads to keep me on track. Did you do that?

I wish... I didn't read anything here until I was already home from the hospital. I didn't want to join any groups and get my hopes up...i dealt only with my Dr office. Now I love the support groups.

You will be fine I got home from the hospital today. I was also nervous before. My only advice is stay on tract,and force yourself to get up and start walking believe me you'll thank yourself later you will boost your healing process. Any questions please ask that's what all of us are here for we all need support (buddies) to help each other succeed

      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.
