Hi...my date is July 15th and I am sooo nervous. I keep going back and forth being excited and then scared.

Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

We have the same date!! I'm feeling the same way. I've never had surgery before and that's what scares me. I talked to my doctor about it and he was very supportive and put me at ease.

I literally feel like crying sometimes, and then I think about why I am having the surgery. My biggest fear is going under aneathesia.

My biggest fear was the anesthesia as well. But, while they were wheeling me down to the OR they gave me a shot of versed and I don't even remember making it to the OR. The next thing I remember was waking up in recovery and asking if it was all over and it was. I would've been more scared of I would've had the surgery in Mexico other than the U.S. Remember it's their job to make sure you wake up.

Start my preop liquid diet tomorrow surgery 7/25 at 1030am. I'm so excited I'm not even worried about it. I just can not wait to be on the losers bench and get on with my life. I have been very open about my surgery with my friends and co-workers. When the nay-sayers ask if I'm sure my response is as follows: I have so many things I've put off because of my weight and they are my inspiration whenever I think of how overwhelming this decision and process has been. Yes, its a big change. Yes, its going to be a major adjustment but what I'll get in return will be worth so much more then the slice of cake I couldn't have or the cup of coffee I missed out on.

Luckily my friends have been even more supportive then I had imagined them to be and I am very grateful for them and ALL OF YOU!

My surgery is the 25th at 10:45am. So crazy. We'll get our sleeves at the exact same time????

I think I'm alone here but I love anesthesia. Don't get me wrong, I'm still nervous. I hate needles so an iv is what I'm dreading the most. I loathe being tethered to an iv stuck in the top of my hand. I always have. Seriously, I would rather have an epidural than an iv but you can't have one without the other. But, as soon as I see the nurse inject my iv with something I know that sweet sleep is soon to follow and I smile every time.

@@Swamprat You're lucky if you get ice chips!

@@tlyons72 I enjoyed the versed and I liked the propofol used for my endoscopy. That was the best sleep of my life! So you're not alone on that.

I'm on day 3 post op and got in 69 grams of Protein and 81 oz of fluids today. They're going down easy. I'll keep sipping Water until I fall asleep. Kind of amazed that I'm not having any issues with fluids. Must be one of the lucky ones.

      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.
