Nervous. Worried, and excited. I'm not worried about the surgery in the least. I have total faith in my doctor, primarily since i've had a hernia surgery with him before. I think the liquid diet only makes it harder, emotionally. I know that might sound strange but eating this way, and knowing that my eating habits not only have to change, but will be drastically curbed makes me anxious too. I don't consider myself a big eater. I typically can't get through more than a single slice of pizza at a sitting, or eat an entire cheeseburger. I think I'm a grazer. And I've been on prednisone for a muscle disease for 3 years hasn't helped with cravings and snacking. The muscle disease keeps me from solid exercise. But I cooked Breakfast for my family yesterday and ate a single strip of bacon and it was entirely amazing.

Not sure what my point is here. Super excited to be thinner and reduce future health issues for sure!!! That's a big one. But the little guy that sits on my shoulder is worried about what my diet will consist of and what I'll enjoy going forward. I know i'll need to find another focus maybe. Especially to be successful.

Bottom line, physically I'm entirely ready for this, mentally i'm nervous about my future. Weird?

I am having surgery April 26 (in 4 days) and am feeling the same way!! My pre op diet has been a roller coaster- good days and times of cheating!! I am nervous about the loss of food- but know my relationship must change.. I am just scared of the unknown I guess! I am sure these are normal feelings right before such a life changing surgery!!

      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.
