My surgery is in 8 days, and I can't help but go back and forth with the positive out comes just as much as the negative ones. Will my father say "I told you so" when I'm having my rough days ? I have never had a surgery before and this one is major. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers everyone ????

Hi there

My surgery is May 6th and Im nervous too, but I know that my life now, well, its no life at all - I am invisible to the opposite sex and I hate what I see in the mirror - I am doing a degree in psychology, I graduate this year, I learnt about self fulfilling prophecy - basically, if you truly believe you are ugly unconciously every thing you do will fulfil that belief. So, our fear, if we go into surgery believing there will be problems and have negative thoughts unconciously we will attract those negative vibes, (all about the laws of attraction, the secret is based on it) . What Im trying to say, is I know that you have to believe you are going to change your life, the day of surgery is your first day of life, you are a born again human being - There wont be bad days, just some days wont be as great as others, but never bad :) Keep in touch with me, I will motivate you, it will do me good :) xxxx

I'm just over 48 hours away. The nerves are starting to creep in. But I keep telling myself I have done other things in my life that made me nervous or things that scared me. So this too will be fine. I have 2 kids and I remember how scary that was at the time. So I'm trying to look at this in that same way.

Best wishes to all!!

      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.
