@@MiloAndTheDiamonds - welcome to the family and come here and post - we have all had doubts/problems/issues etc at some point.

People here generally will offer as much support as we can, through responding, and lending a virtual ear.

You are definitely not alone. You have a whole world-wide community of support and advice here. Seriously, where else could you learn about the experiences of so many different people? And we all have different experiences with different aspects of this journey.

Don't focus on weight loss with the liquid pre-op diet. The main purpose of it is to be high Protein and low carb/low calorie to shrink your liver, the main purpose is not weight loss. So don't obsess on the scale right now and just trust in the process and stick with it and you'll be fine.

And I think the idea of starting up a support group in your country sounds like a fantastic idea for you to lead! Try talking to your surgeon's office about it and see if there would be interest from the other patients there and perhaps even the surgeon's office will provide a room there in the practice where you could meet.

Milo. Ian having surgery June 10th in Mexico. I have only shared with my husband and he really doesn't want to talk too much about it although he is really supportive. So yes I'm very nervous too,how do I explain my bizarre eating habits to people that don't know. My birthday is one wk following surgery and I have a twin sister...I'm doing this for me and taking life one day at a time...everyone has always come first... Happy birthday too me

      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.
