I get hungry late in the day but it goes away and I am fine. I think I am more anxious for it to be over than I am nervous. I want the journey to move to the next step. You will be fine. You get to sleep through it and wake up on a whole new road to life!

My surgery is tomorrow, 6/20. Can't sleep, so excited and a little anxious. I had the worst urges to eat something tonight, must be my nerves. A new road to life sounds good. Wishing everyone luck and Godspeed.

In on Wednesday the 21st and discharged Friday the 23rd. Feel best when I keep up and moving and don't settle in and be lazy. Think it may take a while to get the system regulated again. But now it is no longer anticipation but instead the ability to move on!

I had my surgery on the 20th and so far everything is just perfect! The only thing that really makes me crazy is being without energy and although I understand this is normal, but I am so bored :) do any of you feel like having a shower or walk around the house is A BIG job done and you need rest after this? I am a bit afraid of driving, therefore stay at home all day... what do you do to fly days faster and how do you entertain yourself? P.s. Yes, I'm reading books, watching movies, but need smth more :)

Yes and it was that way for me until week five (which is where I am now) but even now, if I do a bunch of chores, I get so tired. I can tell it's coming back though. It has been the worst thing about the surgery (so I can't complain too much). I've read that in most cases week 8 is the week energy returns full force. Can't wait!

      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.
