I am scheduled to have my surgery on June 9. I was not nervous at all until today! I'm now extremely nervous. All these questions are running through my mind and the thought that I am crazy has passed through as well! I have two little children, a three year old and a ninth month old. What am I thinking?? How am I possibly going to do this?? Anyone go through anxiety right before surgery?

I think some anxiety is normal, but remember all the reasons why you need to have this surgery, starting with a healthy future for you and your kids. Best of luck!

Thank you all for your support. I just got home ( I had my surgery in Mexico) and everything so smooth. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

That's great! How long were you in the hospital and what was the most uncomfortable part?

I was in the hospital for 2 days. Really the most uncomfortable part for me has been the gas from the surgery that is just sitting in my chest. It makes things very uncomfortable. I have recuperated amazingly well and would recommend the surgery to anyone!

      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.
