You’ll do great!! I was nervous too. When I would start to worry, I had to remind myself to leave it in God’s hands. :-)

Be calm going in surgery day and next thing you know you'll be resting in the recovery room. They'll keep you nice and numbed up the first night, and you'll be home before you know it, eager to work the new diet.

You may have some gas in your body from the surgery that gives mild discomfort, but no worries it is gone by day 2 or 3. Short walks and moving around helped me get it all out. I was completely off pain meds before 1st week was over.

Good luck to all having surgery tomorrow! If you are still anxious when you get to the hospital, let the nurse know that you need something to calm you down.

It will be over before you know it and you will be in your way to a new you!!

please post and let us know how things went when you are able.

Good luck to both of you on your surgery. I'm 5 months out and I count myself so very lucky. I have my life back and don't regret a single thing. Just remember to keep walking, to get the gas out. I never had any discomfort. My diet was Clear Liquids one week and full liquids week two and three. It was that third week I thought I'd kill for a burger, but that passed. You are about to embark on a wonderful journey. Keep in touch this group will answer all of your questions and are here to support.

      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.
