I'm new to this app. I've been reading alot of posts over the last couple of days. Alot of good info. Right now im really nervous. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have 3 kids. Ages 11,9, and 2. I'm so afraid of leaving them behind. I just want to wake up. I've been waiting for this for so long and now I just don't know...

Im definitely going to go thru with it. I pray I'm making the right decision. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes I felt the same way. Sending you courage. Have faith everything will be ok. See if they will give you a Valium prior to them wheeling you into surgery. I had Valium and it really relaxed me. I too was terrified.

Thank you. I will definitely ask for it. How was the pain?

It was tolerable. Your on strong meds. Nurses were always asking how my pain was, always ready to give more if needed. You are up and walking within 6 hrs. Force yourself to get up. The nurses helped me the first time to get out of bed and helped me walk but after that I did everything on my own. Just listen to what the nurses tell you. You will do great.
The pain was a 6 for me...childbirth and kidney stone were a 10 !

Rather than focusing on "what could go wrong" in relation to your surgery.... Instead, focus on the many obesity related health concerns your surgery will help to correct:)

It's easy to second guess yourself when you're in a stressful spot. Trust your saner self...the person who researched and worked hard to get here.

You're going to do great. Wishing you the best.

BZG24, just want to add my good wishes. I haven't had this surgery yet but have had 2 others in the past 15 months and neither added up to the dreading I had before. You are absolutely doing the right thing and your healthly future..Wake up, walk get liquids in and you'll be home soon with the kiddos. You've got,this my dear and I believe you'll be just fine.

      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.
