Thanks you to you all:) I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond....all was very helpful and I am happy to say the past few days have been getting easier!!!

Ok guys just got surgery on june 25th. Still on fluids and am having trouble getting them down but thats not my biggest problem right now. I am FREAKEN OUT!!!! Will i be able to eat a slice of bread again?? Will I be able to eat a baked potatoe again?? Will I be able to drink alcohol again?? Will I be able to ever eat a sub or a sandwich again?? I know this seems stupid but I have all of these fears right now. I'm not looking to eat any of the above anytime soon but I fear I wont be able to have some guilty pleasures ever again. And what about diet cola on ocassion?? I just want to be normal again......

Well I am just a week post-op tomorrow and have regreted getting the surgery done since the day after surgery. I was an emotional eater and turned to food for comfort. I feel like somebody belong to me has died. I am mourning food more then I could have imagined. I wonder why I didnt just do it on my own but deep down I know I couldnt and thats why I got the surgery to start with. Everyone says this shall past and I hope they are right. I am never hungry but I still want all those foods that are forbiden. I am terrified that my life will not return to normal. Id like to pass ne thing on to those who are "on the fence" Emotionaly prepare yourself cause it is by far the most emotionaly thing I have ever gone throu. I lost my dad 5 years ago and It kinda feels the same way. I hope this is normal and I get better but right now my future looks more like torture then bright

I am booked for june 25 as well:) started my pre-op diet on the 18th. Feeling good and very excited for monday!!

Hello guys started my week of full fluids today...surgery is in a week. Looking for some idea's and some do's and don't for this week???
