I've been fine this whole journey (psych eval,special test and etc) but when I dropped off my son at my parents he's 3 it finally hit me I'm having surgery today at 11am and I'm so nervous not nervous because of the recovery but nervous that it will take me a while before I can pick up my toddler and that is killing me even though he's pretty independant for a 3 Yr old he still likes me to carry him like a baby to his bed im just a ball of emotions right now

It sounds like jitters are hitting. I'm going to be the same way, I'm sure.

You'll be back with him in no time.

Let us know how it's going.

Good thoughts and all that, ok!

      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.
