Too many emotions right now. Of course don't want any complications, so worried about the unknown afterwards. I know it will all be worth it come 6 months from now.

You will be just fine....think positive. I wish it was me, I have to wait until the Sept.22nd, I'm ready now. Just make sure you follow you surgeon's guidelines and everything will work out in your favor. Remember to sip sip sip and walk walk walk after surgery. I'm cheering for you![emoji122] [emoji126] [emoji322]

I don't even have a Surgury date yet, so I'm willing to switch places

I am not having surgery until June, but I have days when I think"I'm not doing it, it's too scary", then, something happen like today. I was turned down for a promotion because " I don't have enough self confidance" it makes me realize just how much the weight is taking away from me, and I'M SICK OF IT! I wish I could do it tomorrow!

Nerves and fear of the unknown are very real but normal. It is difficult to have patience during the process. Just know you always have support here and most of us are so glad we made the journey. I am 4 years out and 125# lost.

      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.
