Hi all... Anyone else getting sleeved on the 22nd? I've been on the pre-op diet for 3+ days and I'm about to lose my mind with hunger! This entire process did seem to be going quickly, but the liquid diet has made time start to crawl by. ::tick, tick, tick, tick:: I need to take up crochet or something.

I'm on day 11 of 14 and I am short tempered, constipated, tired, and hungry! The 22nd can't get here fast enough. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my goodness...I know exactly what you mean! I'm so sick of all things sweet that my little 1/2 cup of tomato soup is favorite part of day! I'm on day 11 of 14. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Have you had headaches with your diet? I'm on Day 3 and my headaches started yesterday. Carb withdrawal I think. Holy cow I'm so hungry that the dog food is starting to smell appealing! (Not really, just being dramatic. [emoji23]) Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I know what you mean...I've been so excited and anticipating the day I'd get my surgery date, and now that I have it, I'm freaked out. It all suddenly became very very real. I'm trying to remind myself that I'm doing this to SAVE my life. That not doing this is going to put me in the grave too soon. the surgery is the Best thing I can do for myself and, by extension, my family. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! I am hoping all will be done and approved so I'm ready for surgery in Spring -- I'm thinking March. My insurance is proving to be really good...no required weight loss period but my surgeon wants me to drop at least 5% of my weight before the surgery. I'm halfway to reaching that goal. I have to meet with the NUT twice, appts one month apart. Also required to see the psych 3 times...initial consult, back for testing, then final visit to go over results. If all is well after that then my surgeon will schedule my surgery date. I couldn't get that first appt with the psych until mid Dec. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
