Omg I got my surgery date and approval the other day. I'm scheduled for may 18th! I have read so many post where people went through ranges of emotions judt over the approval and I really didn't understand until it happened to me what the big deal was. I went from happy, overly excited, worried, crying from fear, back to happy, worryi ng about my kids if I should die, back to happy again all in about 3 minutes lol. This journey truely is a roller coaster of emotions... and I haven't even had the surgery yet! I can't wait until my fears are behind me and I am able to truely start living the life I knoe I'm meant to live!

Hi, I think the reality is that this is major surgery -- for me, 3 1/2 hours of surgery and a huge change to your innards! Feeling the way you are is a completely normal reaction to such a life changing event. I had surgery on April 21 and had almost exactly the same pre-op emotions. I re-did my will, wrote "read this after my death letters" to all my kids and wife, but also read the mortality rate for this surgery (very very low -- my clinic has never lost anyone!), and knew that I had tried all other options to lose weight, and this would dramatically extend my life span. You and all of us who have this surgery are very brave people!

      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.
