I can't believe that June 23rd has come so fast. I am ready, but still a good amount of nerves have set in.

I have had SO little in the way of calories and nutrients over the past week. My appetite has just completely vanished on the 2 wk pre-op diet and it has been very hard to intake anything. I've had mostly shakes, and now I"m hoping I haven't ingested so little that i will be in trouble. Good news is today I get to have REGULAR juices, popcicles, etc to carry my blood sugar through tomorrow.

I know that there is a religious board, but there is very little activity on there. I would like to ask those who are so inclined to keep me in your thoughts, prayers and such over the next few days.

I will see everyone over on the post-op board!!!!!

I feel the same way. I thought at the beginning of this 2 week pre-op diet the day would never come. Now my surgery day is tomorrow too. I am getting very nervous and I have had my battles over the last 2 weeks, but for the most part it was easier than I though it would be. I will be thinking about everyone that is having their surgery this week. It so nice to know that this forum exists to be able to read and have support. Good Luck to everyone tomorrow!

We've all been there or are going to be there and know what you are going through. So many who have been through this and are months out even years out are so happy now and do not regret this decision. As I near closer to my surgery day these are the people I depend on to help me deal with my fears and uneasiness. You're going to be fine and in one month when I'm on here posting how my surgery is a day away and I'm scared you will be here telling me how you're a month out and lbs down and feeling great and how worth it this all is. Close your eyes relax and you'll wake up to your beginning to a new life.

Hello! I pray you had a good surgery and recovery. I am 8 days post op and was soooooooo scared the night before. Once I had the the surgery I saw that it wasnt as bad as I thought. I even stopped my pain meds once I left the hospital. Get lots of rest! :)

I am home now! thanks to everyone for your MANY kind words and prayers. My surgery went very well and I am already SO glad that I went through with it. The surgeon reported to me that although I already knew I had fatty liver, it was worse than we both thought and within a couple of years I would have had some serious fibrosis set it, leading to cirrhosis. WoW.

I'm not even 40 yet and now I have a long life ahead to look forward to.

I will be posting soon in the POSt-op FORUM too. thanks again to everyone!

      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.
