No, calm down. This is a WONDERFUL thing that you're doing for yourself. In a couple of months you'll be happier than you've ever been, wearing "normal" smaller sizes and feeling AMAZING with lots of energy and people complementing you all the time. Don't worry, you'll be just fine, I can guarantee it!

Remember to get your walking in to help with the gas discomfort. Good luck, keep us updated. You'll be just fine... praying for your prompt and easy recovering.... ♥

@@skyestarr88 Agree with ComeFly. I have had the ill luck to need many surgeries and this one was really an easy one in comparison. This surgery has been a godsend and I'm so grateful for it. I hope you will be too. Do relax. It will all be good.

      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.
