Hi and welcome to LBT. Don't freak out - it will be okay and worth it. I think we are all nervous before surgery. I freaked out a bit myself and now feel silly about it.

These boards is a great place for support. If you have any questions or need your hand held (I know I did in the beginning), post and ask away. Take care of yourself.

I was terrified! I had never had any type of surgery. I almost backed out. Then I got in there, they were so nice, it was over so fast. I was a little sore, but had no problems. I only told one person I was doing it. Good luck. Keep in touch!

Let me put it this way...I'm a wuss. I get nasueous and almost pass out from getting a piercing. The surgery was easier than my nose or eyebrow piercing, easier than my tattoo. Just make sure and let your doctors know if you are in pain at all. Or naseous. They have meds for that. I was pretty nervous because it was my first surgery and it was really easy for me. Good Luck!

      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.
