Congratulations on your nearing surgery date. I doubt any of us could say we didn't get nervous. I got so busy trying to get ahead at work before my surgery that I didn't have time to worry or even think about it the days before my surgery. So, try and find a project or hobby or something to take your mind off of it. It is over an done with so quickly. I am a "BIG BABY" when it comes to needles and such and I couldn't believe how easy it was. Take care.

Best wishes.

I just had my surgery 8/25 and it was easy as pie. :) Really, it was easier than getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I'm still a little sore at the port site, but that's it. You'll be fine sweetie. Good luck and just relax and you'll be amazed at how easy it is!

You are normal..

Not many of us here who were not nervous.

You will get throughit just fine and afterwards look back and ask yourself " What was I so worried about"

Good Luck to 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.
