I just had my surgery on Thursday. I was very nervous, but everyone at the surgical center was fabulous. I spent one night and came home at 6:00am. Each day gets a bit easier. I'm eager to see where this journey takes me. So far, it's really not as bad as I thought it would be.

I was absolutely terrified last Thursday morning before my surgery, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated and I'm only 5 days out but feeling a little better every day

When I checked into the hospital, I told my surgeon I was really anxious and they gave good drugs... Don't suffer - tell them you're nervous!!!

I'm having surgery on April 6th at Celebration Hospital is Kissimmee, Florida and I'm extremely terrified. Was anyone this scared before surgery? Is this a normal feeling?

Yes right before surgery I got so ill they had to put the surgery on Hold until I stop throwing up so yes I've been there but it will be ok ;). Hope it went well

I was also very very nervous. I was expecting to be in such pain, but when I woke up I was just slightly sore and my ports were minimal compared to what I thought they would be. I had 6 of them only because they fixed a hernia while they were at it. I am home now and can't believe I thought it was such a big deal. I hope you are having a speedy recovery. I'm starting thick liquids tommorow and can't wait!

      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.
