@@thin-for-kidney, I have a hearty "me too!" on the same fears you described. My only solution is to live with the fear and push on anyway, because the alternative is untenable.

Thanks so much! Its nice to know that there are others with the same fear. I know I don't want to be this size forever especially if I want to get a new kidney and have a life again. I can't wait to have my own NSV to post ;) lol

My surgery is scheduled on Jan 28th. It isn't quite real for me yet, I have an endo scheduled for the 9th, and then Pre-Op on the 20th, maybe it will get real then. I am excited, but nervous like all of you. Worried about failure. I am only taking two weeks off of work, I am an accountant, so tax/audit season starts at the end of January, so two weeks is all I can give but I can work from home if I need too.

      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?

      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.
