I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow and I've suddenly started freaking out. Please pray for me!

I know most of you have been through it already and don't think it's that big a deal, but I'm worried sick!

Thanks all of you for your support! :biggrin:

Maya,

I can understand your nerves. Its ok to be nervous. Just take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the end result. See yourself home after the op and on your way to getting slimmer. Picture yourself in those gorgeous clothes you've secretly longed to wear. Do you have an outfit already for goal weight? If so get it out and look at it, play with it, hold it up to yourself in the mirror and imagine walking into some swanky restaurant in that outfit!

Allow yourself to dream hun. This is time you are taking for you. This is something you are doing to love yourself more! Pat yourself on the back, you deserve it!

Good luck and see you back here in a day or so :biggrin:

Michelle

AWWWW.. you guys are so awesome! I was brought to tears reading all your well wishes!!!

BUT GUESS WHAT??

They cancelled my surgery! They stink! The hospital I was supposed to be done at was in "Crisis mode" and they were not able to take me, it was a huge bummer... So now.. I have to wait one MORE week and MAYBE get it done.. because the Dr's wife is pregnant and may have her baby that week so I may be cancelled again!

Anyway.. I'll come back and stalk you all again next week. Thank you so much for the prayers and well wishes!

Much Love!!

God Bless You!!

      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.
