I've been a ball of emotions today. I'm so nervous and scared. I've been crying and everything. I'm sure it's normal but I hate feeling this way. My oldest is in the Navy and called today to wish me luck and I bawled. We are dropping off our other two to my mom's in a little bit. I know I will cry then. I'm a worrier and can't stop thinking of what could go wrong.

Alright, you two----if you weren't worried, or in an odd mood, you two would be "weirdos".. :)

Really, WLS journeys are long and life changing. BUT you both have done the hardest part---you've recognized your disease and are ready to "face the demon".

Tomorrow you will start the most challenging, but also the most joyful, rewarding journey of your lives. Hang on and enjoy the ride!

There will be "bumps" in you path. That is what we are here for--for "bump removal". :)

Whatever problem you may face, I am confident that there will be someone here who has faced the same "bump in the road" and can help you or at least talk you through it.

Support is SOOOOO important. That you will ALWAYS have here on BP.

Meet you on the ,"Losers' Bench". You will like it there. You can rest there--for a moment.

Post and let us know how you are doing post op. We are absolutely nosy, but we also care.

Try and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow your journey begin!!!

I would cry as much as you can! Get it out now. Go through the emotional Rollercoaster and try to wrap your head around the surgery. You're doing it to better your life! It's going to go well and you are strong enough to handle anything!! I have been told by one of my friends that had it done that she was extremely emotional before her surgery. ..so emotional they had second thoughts of doing it! She finally held it together and had to convince them this is what she really wanted. Wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you. Stay strong and remember why you are doing this hun. Best of luck we all now you'll do wonderfully!!! Sending support

I was a bundle of nerves and didn't sleep much the night before surgery. I am a stress cleaner though, so the bathroom was nice and tidy for my return home. :lol:

Wishing you all the best and I look forward to hearing from y'all when you're on the other side of it.

      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.
