What surgery are you having? I was really nervous too. Just remember at all times why you are doing this. I always ask the anesthesiologist for help with my nerves and they are happy to help!

that's pretty normal. I was freaked out about it, too. But...everything worked out great!

3 weeks post-op - I feel like I was one of the few who didn't get nervous before surgery! It wasn't my first one so that prolly helped as well.

You'll do great! Ask questions, tons of people around here to answer and help you!

I’m also getting gastric sleeve but on 11/18. Smack in the middle of my pre-op diet right now. I’m too crabby from hunger to be nervous! 😂 Reading about the experiences of other people on this app and in Facebook groups has really helped me feel like I know what to expect.

I'm nervous as well. Like@planetabbi my surgery is Monday as well, but I'm getting a loop duodenal switch. I started my pre-op diet this past Monday and have already dropped several pounds. Good thing I like shakes! lol

      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.
