Wow the day has come. I don't know about anyone else but I'm scared out of my mind. I want to do it but now I think my nerves are getting to me. My surgery is at 10:30am . Any advice would help me.

I would try to relax and think happy thoughts about all of the benefits you will get from this. Once the team starts prepping you the medications will help calm your nerves.

Don't get discouraged this afternoon if you have some pain or discomfort which is completely normal on the day of surgery. If they offer you pain meds take them, or if they give you a PCA (pain button) use it. Just do what the medical staff says and you should feel much better shortly after and be well on your way to recovery and success!

You are going to do great. I had mine done on Monday and I am feeling much much better today. The first day was rough just take your pain medicine and walk as much as you can it really does help.

      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.
