Please tell me i am not the only one that is all nerves

You are not alone. I will go through with this on 6/11 as I am counting on the huge majority of people who say they have no regrets and I plan to be one of them. I'm ready to take back my life.

Surgery in 4 days. The excitement has subsided a bit and I'm not nervous yet. I'll probably be nervous on surgery day. I haven't packed yet but there's not much I'm taking with me... a few electronic necessities, a pillow and toiletries. I'm wearing my pajamas to the hospital and will be wearing them home. I feel like I'm forgetting to do stuff but I have no idea what.

You will all do great. I went from super excited to super nervous. That only last for a second. My surgery was march 10 and I have no regrets. I'm doing things I have not done in years. So much energy. Life is good. I am already being referred to as thin!! Enjoy the ride!

Happy losing,

Mississippi girl

      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.
