I'm July 17th and getting very nervous. Starting to second guess this decision. Anyone able to offer some reassurance. Pros and cons Not getting a lot of support at home. Really feeling unsure.

I'm July 17th also. I was extremely concerned as well, to the extent that I contacted the NUT and told her I was having second thoughts. But I had a break through while watching the TV show "Smile" (it's a show that gives people with atrocious teeth free, dramatic dental rehab). It hit me all the negative consequences I've suffered because of obesity: I can't really date, I'm not perceived as attractive, I can't dress the way I'd like, my physical pain is the worst it's ever been, people make extremely hurtful, humiliating comments... Obesity has so many consequences for that I have to find a method to improve my quality of life, and diets have not been able to do that for me. This is my best shot, IMHO, even I fail I'll know I've exhausted all options...

Hello everyone! My surgery was recently scheduled for July 31st @ 10am with 8am admission. Johns Creek, GA. I'm very excited and not quite nervous yet. Pre-op appointment is on the 22nd. I'm new to the site and omg, there's so much to read here, I love it.

Making it brief for the moment. Need to go work on my story and other good stuff to share with everyone. I'll let you be for now. My best wishes for all of you so close to your surgery date, those still days and weeks on countdown, and those who have crossed over to the new beginning of healthier life!

Ciao,

Shinnystar :)

We can all be buddies. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 17th also. Just started my pre-op diet today. Not loving it :-( Got a headache from caffeine & carb withdrawal, but I know it will be better in a day or so. At least that what everyone tells me. Hope it's true!

      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.
