I was excited eight up until they were pushing the bed to the OR. I started to get teary-eyed and they reassured me. Being scared before a surgery is natural. Don't forget there are so many people here that felt the same way as you and it's ok. And you'll be ok. :)

I'm having my surgery on Feb. 20th. I have been very positive about the whole thing and excited. But when the date was given to me and the hospital called to schedule my pre-op, I started getting nervous. Nervous about the unknown as I've been obese since I was a child. I've lost weight many times to only gain it back. I know a lot of people who have gone through this and I also attend a support group at the hospital to give me that added help.

and then the other night, I was talking to my husband and he was talking about our son and family and the "what if's". I started crying. The "what if of not waking up" never crossed my mind....until then. And now that's all I can think about!! You do hear about those stories of someone not surviving on the table. And I have a cousin who a number of years ago was having gastric bypass and didn't make it. But with the technology they have now with laparoscopic and robotic medicine, the chances are very rare of that happening. But still...

so I think feeling this way is normal.

I'm so glad to have found this board for this kind of support.

We're almost there!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
