Why can't I be excited.....I am craping my pants! Fear of complications and I don't mind the diet I guess but when you feel hungry it is hard to imagine not feeling that way all the time after WLS.

I glad we can all chat here...I too can't wait to ditch the CPAP!

I feel you I'm very afraid to but I have confidence in my surgeon I'm thinking what if I don't change my eating habits and what if I fail at this miserably I've been started to change my main eating habits also by putting Protein first and everything else second. I'm having surgery on 26 November and i'm officially one week pre op.

I've heard a lot of people lose the hunger, it's the head hunger you really have to get over. Jacqbult where are you having surgery? The hospital I'm going to has a very good rating and the actual surgery is safer than giving birth so that was reassuring for me and my worried husband :)

So how are the nerves? I'm due at the hospital at 6am on Monday. I have to be up at 4am to take a pill called emend (for nausea). I'm super nervous but excited for this journey.

My surgery is tomorrow...I have to be there at 7:15am. OMG. The Hospital I am going to In Michigan is one of the Highest rated in Michigan and my surgeon is rated 3rd in the country. But still I am a nervous wreak.

Wouldn't it be fun is we could all be in pre-op together....chatting about everything....

      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.
