Hi All, My name is Jeanine. I have been on Obesityhelp.com a bunch of times but I didn't know there was an area designated for New Jerseans! I am about 1 week away from my surgery date! This pre-op diet is killing me and I am damn HUNGRY!!!! I am starting to get nervous but I know this is something I MUST do this for ME!!!! Anyone have any advice or encouragement, I welcome your input. Thank you and God Bless!!!

Thankfully my doc didn't put me on a pre-op diet . . it must be hard. Try to think ahead to the good times that are coming your way. I'm 3 years out and have never looked back once, never regretted it for an instant. Just visualize in your head how great you're going to feel and look, the energy you're going to have. I assume you're having it done lap? 2 weeks from now you're going to be out walking and anticipating each new day like you wouldn't believe. Good luck! Hugs, Linda

Hi Jeanine, I just got home from surgery so i know what you are feeling. the best advice i got was- relax and enjoy the drugs...lol.Now after being through it I know that it truly is the best advice because at this point there is nothing else you can do. Don`t take anything to the hospital because they put you in a gown that is ment to be adjusted around all the hook ups that you will be on till the day you leave. I know you think you will be doing things for yourself such as showering but, it`s just not going to happen till you get home.I took one set of pj`s and didn`t use them. I didn`t use soap, shampoo or conditioner. Good Luck, Colleen
