I think it's natural to have a bit of anxiety prior to a life changing event; focus on the life after and the future you envision once the process is compelte. Tonight do something special for yourself--bubble bath by candle light, quiet reading (if you like to read) or anything you like to do that is soothing and calming. I will be sending you happy, healing thoughts. When you feel up to it, let us know how you are doing.

Good luck msryan. Your angst prior to surgery is completely normal. Tomorrow starts an entirely new life style. You will do fine and you will love the results. Be patient and follow the rules and you will be fine.

Also, good luck to Sleevin it in Jersey. Slim times ahead. Get ready for all the compliments everybody because people will be noticing a slimmer trimmer you.

You are probably asleep by now and won't read this until much after your surgery. Just want you to know I'm holding warm thought in my heart for my new sleeve sister. You have an amazing new life ahead of you. Rest well, follow your docs plan for you one day at a time, and the excess weight will start melting away.

      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.
