All the time of doing everything on the check list I haven't really been nervous. But for some reason after my pre op appointments on the 8/8 I got a little nervous. I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow . I'm still a little nervous , but not to the point of not having my surgery. I've worked to hard to get to this point. I keep reminding myself why I'm having the surgery. I was wondering has this happen to anyone else?

Girl. I am shaking like a leaf and I don't know why!! I think partially it's excitement!! And partially I am very nervous. My Liquid diet starts and pre-op appointments are all 8/16. I know that's still 5 days away. I think it is probably normal and healthy for us to be nervous somewhat. You're gonna do great girl!!! Channel your nerves and anxiety into focusing on success!!! <3 <3

I feel exactly the same way. Not worried one bit until those pre-op's and then reality set in. Like you, not enough to cancel but everything we've worked for is becoming our current reality! We'll do great

So very true. Good to luck to on your Journey .

Yes, once I had that last set of pre-op appointments I felt nervous and sad.

Then I went on the liquid protein diet and I lost almost 10 pounds. Once again, I felt like maybe I can do this on my own - no surgery necessary.

Two things that I had remind myself about were:

#1, I was super-compliant during the pre-op diet. Would I have been as capable of being super-compliant if I was not doing what I felt was necessary to be ready for surgery . The answer (over any length of time) is no.

#2 I am in the position where I have been approved for needing this surgery. Yikes! Despite having decades to fix the problem, I could not sustain success.

I am only two days post-op - so by no means an expert, and I can tell you that my relationship to wanting to eat food as changed. My hubby and kids have handled the cooking since I went on the pre-op liquid diet. When they were cooking or eating during the pre-op phase - I tucked myself away in a different part of the house - the food smelled so good...

Post-op the food still smells and looks good, but it does not feel tempting right now. I had read where others had written that, but I did not think I would feel that way. I think (as of now) that this surgery will give me a chance to re-calibrate my relationship with food. That is not something that could have ever happened without the surgery.

If you are mostly nervous about the surgery, then I will pass along my experience - the surgery went as planned. I definitely had surgery and I am recovering, however, things have gone well.

I wish you the best on your path to better health.

I was good until the hospital pharmacy left a message about prescriptions. It became very real and my nerves have had the best of me today. I only have four more days!

Hey , the first day was rough. Yesterday was better. I'm able to have grits , plain oatmeal and cream of wheat so I had a little grits this morning with some chicken bone broth so far. How are you doing?

I hope your recovery is going well. I'm starting to feel much better I just started my 3rd day of pre op liquid diet the 1st day was rough , but much better now. I think my nervousness surrounded around not knowing how the protein shakes would taste had never had one before yesterday. It actually was pretty good. So that helped tremendously.

I hope you are feeling better .How are you doing today and how is your liquid diet going?

Since starting my liquid diet on the 11th I've lost 6 lbs. But while I was at my doctor's office I got light head, dizzy and sweating really bad. My doctor said he believes it happened because my sugar dropped. I didn't have anything before going to the doctor because I knew I was having blood work done. After the blood work they gave me some orange juice and I started feeling so much better.

Help! I slipped and had a couple of bites of food twice. I'm 10 days into my pre-op diet. Should I be worried? I've lost 10 lbs so far and still have 4 full days to go.

I'm not sure . But please for your safety during your surgery I wouldn't suggest doing it again. Your life it's not worth a couple bites of food. I suggest asking your nut. I'm 5 days in on my liquid diet and I've loss 6 lbs. I know it's a struggle just take every hour of the day as it comes. Good look to you luck to you.

Good morning are you able to take some Tylenol? Also you may want to call your doctor or nut to let them know what's going on with you . Good luck to you on your journey.
