Hey! My sx date is Feb.8th & my feelings are all over the place! How are you feeling?

Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Scared!! And so confused. So much information.. I haven't even started buying anything as far as shakes.
Me too! First I was so looking into Premier Protein shake.. But they strongly recommend powder. Therefore, I'm going for Isopure. But I'm scared too. I have kids ????

Yeah! I went out and bought Dutch chocolate Isopure & some Premier Protein bottles. Are they not good???

And I have kids also!

I was sleeved 10/21/16 after having my date changed twice! Each time I was getting close I was anxious. I tried talking myself out of it. I have an anxiety disorder which just made it worse. But I got it done it wasn't so bad. The surgeon even told me before I went back that I could get off the bed and walk out if I still wanted lol. I only stayed one night in the hospital which just made it better.

I have my date! It's approved!! I'm so scared. And pretty much alone in this. I wish I had someone to just... to chat with. I have no one to count on.. I'm on my own for this journey.

Anyway.. if anyone wants to just chat! I'm 25, Female, weigh 320lbs.

Don't let anyone take away your excitement, especially your family. My mother won't support me or go to the hospital when inhale this surgery so I avoid talking to her about it. I'm doing this because it's the right thing for me and no one else's opinion matters. Good luck you'll do wonderful

I was really nervous for my surgery and tried talking myself out of it every time my date came up. (They rescheduled me 2 times) the surgeon even told before they took me back that it was my last chance to get off my bed and walk out of the hospital. But I made myself stay because I knew I needed the surgery. I am not too worried about excess skin, I am going to tighten as much as I can. But I know I am going to have some due to the weight and a pregnancy.

My highest weight is 583 and my current weight is 4 90 so I know there will be a lot of skin to be removed

I think if you can get through the weight loss surgery you can get through the skin removal! You will do great.

      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.
