And I am scared out of my MIND. I know this is the right choice for me and my family, but when I even think about how only a few short hours from now I'll have to say see ya later to my toddler who is so attached to me...I cry. I can't help but be afraid that I'm about to kill myself and leave my daughter without a mom.

Please send positive thoughts my way so that I can relax and do what I know in my brain is best!

You are doing this FOR your family AND yourself. You stand a much higher chance of leaving your baby too soon without surgery. You will come through just fine, and in a month or so you will be well on your way! Many Blessings to you today. You'll be great!

Thank you. It really is all for her and my husband. It doesn't really help that this is also my first night away from my baby as well.

I'm trying to pull it together, lol. Maybe they will give me something for anxiety. We'll see.

Thanks again for your kind words.

      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.
