Is anyone else experiencing the same feelings I am? Or am I just out there? Ever since my journey began I have never experienced second thoughts or the fear of the surgery itself, not even the post surgery stuff, since I work in the mental health field I have tried to monitor my own psyche and make sure I not having some kind of euphoria, but I did my research and investigated every aspect of this life changing event I am about to have, so I am thinking that aunt this has something to do with being so comfortable with it, if someone felt the same or kind of like that, let me know, I can't even imagine experiencing the "buyers remorse" syndrome some people talk about........

I am just like that. Once I decided on the sleeve, and did my research, I never once was worried or concerned. I Knew in my heart I would do great, and I did. No issues afterward at all, and I'm still doing great. I jumped through every hoop without falter, and never looked back. I never had second thoughts or feelings of regret. I was totally comfortable with it from the start. Never had "buyers remorse" either. I'm stoked that I did this, and some days I just can't hardly believe I actually did it. But I did, and I'm 40 pounds lighter already....and I just began! I can't wait for the future! It's hard to even sit still! I just want to get out there and do all the things I couldn't do for so long. Best of luck to you on your journey!

      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.
