Thanks for all the good wishes. They must have worked cause I’m now 5 hours post op, and my only issue is the gas/surgicalb pain. Surprisingly they brought me dinner 2 hours post op. Cream Tomato Soup, black Tea, and vanilla pudding with a small package of Protein. My wife ate the Soup, and I dipped on the tea. I am slowly working my way through the pudding, (watered down with milk). I learned very quickly about the need for sipping VERY slowly. 🤤.

Went for a walk, which greatly helped the gas issue.

WOOO HOOO!!! You did it!! You did it!! yay yay yay! So glad to here you are feeling good and doing what needs to be done!

I’m scheduled for Nov. 8 - three weeks exactly from today. I’m starting to feel very scared, especially when I reviewed my pre-surgical consult notes of all the potential risks. I worry what if something goes wrong, and then it’s like I did it to myself. But there’s that saying “everything you want is on the other side of fear.” I’m trying to live that and just have faith. Sometimes I get so excited thinking about how my life could be if I felt better about myself. If i could wear all the clothes in my closet. If I felt sexy. If I could kayak without worrying I’m over the weight limit. But then at night the fear and anxiety creep in. Just three more weeks...I hope I have made the right decision for myself, and for my family.

I had a little break down last night thinking about risks... part of it I think is coming from me losing a little weight like 10 lbs prior to the two week making a commitment to my nut about what I would do in my three weeks, and for whatever reason it is working a little bit for me like I haven't been able to lose 10 lbs in two years trying so many different ways... your not alone in the fear department and your not alone in feeling the same way of what is beyond the fear I have... I agree I hope it is the right choice, but I also feel like I can't keep going the way I am now, and I need to be around for my family. We got this though! See you on the bench!

I feel like the month is flying by but I may feel differently once I start my 2 week liquid diet next week.

Hi I’m scheduled for 11/21 and I’m so scared and nervous

I am also scheduled for 11/21. Trying very hard to contain the nervousness. I keep telling myself I will be healthier. Since I will not be able to enjoy Thanksgiving, I am celebrating it today with family.

      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.
