I would be trying to remind myself that what I personally would be deathly afraid of is not surgery (its a relatively quick and safe procedure) but the change in lifestyle afterwards. Never again will I be able to really pig out on McDonalds, that type of thing. In realising that, it made me realise that I never can again anyway if I want to look and feel a certain way, so perhaps try to remind yourself that what the band is going to FORCE you to do, you really have to do anyway. I think its probably that journey many are afraid of, not the procedure itself, and there's no way not to make that scary. Try not to project that fear onto your actual surgery.

Isnt it amazing when you take the time to actually taste your food, that most of that stuff is truly revolting. That ring of grease around your mouth feeling, bleuch. You can ignore that when you've wolfed down your fish and chips in 2 seconds flat, but not when you take the time to eat it properly - I find my appetite for it diminishes mighty quickly.

      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.
