No need to freak out, before you know it you will be in recovery and up and walking. Just remember to walk as much as you can post surgery.

In a little over a week our positions will be changing, I then will be gowned and waiting for surgery and you will be on the outside looking in , cheering me on, telling me every little th8ng will be OK and it will be, because Surgery,Now is not the Big Bear Bugaboo it once was! Not like falling off a log because WHO wants to fall off a log anyway but pretty smooth and easy-like.Surgeon's do them everyday, if they were clumsy and uncoordinated, they were never have a line patients wanting them.

I will be watching for your posts as you give up your present life and reel in the reigns to get control. I cant wait for you to make up with your scale and after you apologize for past bad words aimed in its direction you will find it is now your best friend. The first time you can sit and actually cross your legs is a day to mark on the calendar too. Life is so different on the post surgery side. Welcome aboard very soon Frustr8. Take those pictures and measurements now. They will help you more than you would think they could while you make your journey. Best wishes and Good Luck.

Thank you @ skinnydreamer16. I will have Tomkitten take some,pictures. Now the measurements, that may not be for a day or two. I seem to have lost my 120 inch measuring tape. No silly I am not 120 inches around but portions of measure more than the 60 inch one I did find. Remember the shoemaker children not having shoes? Well this is like that, I used to work Fabrics and Crafts at Wally World. You would think I would have any number of sewing items, wouldn't you. My wise acre son says I can get dads metal tape out of the tool box, you could lay on the floor and roll back and forth. No don't think so, plus watching me get up off the floor would win of America' s Funniest Home Videos. Ain't pretty baby Ain't Pretty!-💇Picture of Tomkitten as I chase him🏃

      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.
