Hi, I am booked for a Gastric Bypass on June 10th! I am very excited but sick with worry too! Would love to talk to anyone due to have surgery soon or who are "on the other side".

Don't make yourself crazy about the unknown.

Try the best you can to relax.

You'll do great.

These are exciting times for you.

You're doing a really great thing for yourself. You're doing this surgery to better your health and that's a wonderful.

I'm so glad that I did this surgery for myself. My health has improved immensely. From this surgery I know longer take 3/4 of the meds that I did.

My bp is great, no more diabetes, no more sleep apnea, no more high cholesterol.

It's so much easier to move around and to walk without lose of breath.

I wish you all the luck for your surgery.

Come back and let us know how you are doing often.

P.S. Your user name is that your name? The reason I ask is I'm a doll collector and your user name is the names of three dolls that were made by a famous doll artist. They were very cute trio. Any ways just curious.

      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.
