Being anxious and nervous is okay, we've all been there. The surgery will certainly change your life but trust me...the changes are for the better and you will do well. Don't get frustrated, the first few weeks are difficult but they pass quickly and then it gets pretty darn easy. I love my sleeve and I know you will too. good luck and welcome to a wonderfully healthy life style.

excited - sooooo nervous!

@@poginut

calm down, you have the rest of your life to be nervous :D

its true that your pre-op nerves and excitement and "concern" et al are very common

you will have other types of emotions post op too

but its all good :)

don't know what WLS you are having :blink:

if its like me, and you are having the sleeve - that is the best choice :)

but if you are having some other type of WLS - that is the best choice too!

you are starting your new life!!!

that is very exciting!!!

wonderful that you have a good support group via your wife and sons

very helpful :)

did you know that statistics have proved that having WLS on a Friday September 26th, 2014 is the best day of the year to have surgery!!!! ;)

good luck

speedy recovery :)

@@poginut and @@BeagleLover time is winding down for us! I've messed up a little yesterday and today on the pre-op called the dr. office and they said I should be fine. I had a lot of protein!! And it wasn't liquid form! I'm nervous and anxious I can't wait till this is over.... Good luck to you both on your new life's journey to be healthy and fit and a may your recovery be speedy and smooth ????

      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.
