Congrats! I remember how excited I was to hear that news, even though it wasn't that long ago. It'll be here before you know it.

If you are prone to anxiety it will probably happen, but you will get over it quickly.I am currently going through this with my sister in law, who is scheduled for surgery on Monday 8/17. I think it helped her that I instantly lost my hunger feeling. It was/is amazing.

@@jane13 I'm doing pretty good. Feeling better every day. It gets easier each day to get out of bed. Yesterday I was very proud of myself. I made my dr's goals for Protein and fluids! I'm quite impressed with that as it was only my 2nd day home!

      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.
