Starting to get a little nervous :) read last night again about the complications that could arise and I guess I scared myself...not backing out of this though, waited too long. Anyone else go through this?

Oh yes. Every day I think what the h*** am I doing. How the heck did I get here. Trying not to second guess and just take one day at a time. Surgery is one week from today. Hang in there.

Absolutely!!!!! Surgery is next Wednesday and I'm little afraid and nervous as the day get closer...I've done lots of research on this procedure and what can possibly go wrong and I feel like as long as I was honest with myself and the dr's I saw including my surgeon about my health and family history and as long as I follow the program pre op and post op I will be alright..... After struggling with weightless my entire life I feel that this is the best gift that could have given to myself!!!!! I have no regrets....

I'm getting sleeved the 23rd and my nerves are kicking in so hard. I'm scared that something will go wrong, and scared that I will fail, but at the same time I know I'm ready for this; so I don't even know how to feel right now, all I know is that I can't back out now. We are all going to do great! Good luck to you all (:

      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.
