I found every pre-opt day got a little better as my body got use to no carbs. I am now on day 5. Days 1 & 2 were the worse, headache-wise.

I found THE EMOTIONAL FIRST+AID KIT: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery to be very helpful. The author is Cynthia Alexander.

My surgery is on July 11 with Dr Hoehn. Thoroughly reviewed with excellent reputation and care.

This one of my biggest concerns, too. My surgery is in less than a week.

I had the same "breaking point" as aliandrew. I am tired of missing out on so much!

My surgery date is in one week and I totally relate. I am terrified but even more scared not to take this chance to succeed.

The Unjury chicken broth is high protein and tastes very good.

I have a July 11 surgery and totally understand. It's hard to think of anything else. I try to imagine all the good that can come from this - an opportunity to succeed where I haven't been able to in the past. As my daughter told me- "You're braver than you think you are." I have to think she's right!

I haven't been able to figure out my protein shakes yet- tried several. I did try the Unjury chicken broth and really like it.

Extra stress and pressure are just not what I need at the moment. ...So those who know my surgery is coming up soon are my husband, adult kids, mother, brother (& wife), sister (& husband), family doc, and 5 close friends. I have asked them not to tell other family members or friends. I thought how I would feel if these particular people choose not to confide in me for something so important. Whether to tell my grandkids has been difficult for me but I have decided not to for awhile. I think that later I will decide to share with others but not now. I need to use my energy to focus on my surgery and recovery. It is really helpful to hear the comments you all have shared. Thanks.

Have any of you read THE EMOTIONAL FIRST+ AID KIT: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery by Cynthia Alexander? I just finished it and think it will help to keep rereading it after my surgery.

So glad to hear about your surgery. My surgery is in less than 3 weeks with Dr. Hoehn.

I'm sorry, too. It's so easy to talk ourselves into needing those carbs to cope.
