Maybe it's the fact that I'm cutting down both caffeine and sugar but boy do I feel blue. Did anyone go through this? I'm at half-caff coffee & pretty much no sugar. I need to get out of this funk. My surgery date is April 27.

After you lose your weight, what do you want to do? I really want to go horseback riding, bodysurfing & take a segway tour. I want to do everything I haven't felt I could do.

Everyone else?

Awwww, hang in there! Your new journey is right around the corner! And yes, I'm a total wreck without caffeine! I'm sure the withdrawal has a lot to do with your mood.

I'm going to Hawaii for the fist time around the time you're having your surgery, and I'm going to go scuba diving and will be hiking up to a volcano. Things I know I couldn't or wouldn't have done before surgery :)

Hope you start to feel better and good luck with your upcoming surgery! Keep us posted!

I'm feeling blue but I'm 3 weeks put of my surgery! I'm getting very frustrated about food, bumping episodes, I'm not feeling happy like I thought I would, I'm loosing weight but I don't care, I look at overweight people and think : I should stay like them, they look happy and confident. I dream at night about my surgery day and me saying : stop ! I don't want to do this. Tell me this is only a phase!

I'm in the same boat. I'm at the end of my first preop diet week and my emotions are all over the place. I've also had a dull headache that comes and goes. I'm guessing it's the carb withdrawal

      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.
