I'm getting more and more anxious - am I really ready? Can I even do it? You know, the usual.

My husband is nervous, too -they way his experiences have taught him, hospitals are where people go to die. So he's nervous about just having the surgery.

My son is fairly oblivious - just realized this afternoon that my surgery is tomorrow.He didn't seem upset or worried at all.

We have a big family dinner on Sunday nights, so I'm cooking and will sit with while I sip my last shake. Then I need to pack a small bag for the hospital.

And calm myself! Anxiety is not pretty on me!

I can't even begin to imagine the anxiety you are feeling. I am still 45 days away from surgery and I'm already a wreck sometimes. When I get nervous I read all the success stories and look at before and after pics. Please keep us posted!

Congrats and best wishes tomorrow. How old is your son? Mine is 36 and he's oblivious to my surgery also. Pack your Gasx strips and use the pain pump.

      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.
