I have anxiety as well. I took my clonazapam the night before and they gave me one the night I was in the hospital. That first day you have surgery you will probably sleep a lot. You are going to do great...Don't sweat it!

Thank you so much stay in touch!

When is your surgery date?The hardest part about this to me was the first Few days of the liquid diet. The surgery was remarkable because I just new and had accepted that I was going to have several days of pain. That was not the case at all. Once you get past the gas , for me personally it was a huge sigh of relief. I am in no pain. I know this is not the case for everyone but for me I am just amazed. PLUS I had a lap band taken out. I hated that thing! So my surgery was a little more complicated Than just the gastric sleeve. I wish I had done this 15 years ago. It was not an option for me at the time. You re going to do great!

My surgery date is March 3rd so next Wednesday. My surgery will be a little complicated as well because I have to have a small mass removed so I will have a partial gastrectomy also. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement it means a lot.

      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.
