Sigh! I'm very anxious! I meet again with the surgeon and do some blood work. I know it's normal to be anxious. I just haven't slept in days. I feel like I'm going to do fine but I'm still freaking out! Just needed to vent. This forum is keeping me together. Thanks everyone.

Good luck! My surgery is June-22. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I know it's for the best and I'll lose this weight.

You will do incredible! I'm 6 days out and this has been SO much easier than I had anticipated. Make sure you ask for nausea meds. Those help a ton. Take advantage of the rest time at the hospital, but don't wait to long to get up and start moving around. The quicker you do, the better you're going to feel because that gas will be absorbed by your muscles. GOOD LUCK!

      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.
