Hey Guys! I have finally committed to getting the sleeve this Tuesday. My doctor told me he could do it on that day, but I'm been trying to see if I could make up my mind to do it. But I AM going to do it! Not sure what time. I think in the morning.

I'm a little bit nervous because I have not did any kind of pre-op diet. My doctor told me not too worry about it because I'm not extremely overweight... I have over 100 lbs. to lose, to me that's alot...

What do you guys think?

I wonder what time I will have to stop eating or drinking tomorrow?

Maybe some of you that have just had your surgery around the same time we can keep more in touch and see how we are doing?

I love having found this site and having people that can help me along the way!

Also I enjoy reading about you guys that have already been where we've been and we can learn from your experiences.

Charity that is wonderful news. Put yourself in God's hands and know that this is His will for you in your life - it all came together so easy it has to be. You shoudl stop eating/drinking 12 hours before your surgery -- you can take any necessary medication in the morning with only enough Water to get them down.

You'll do GREAT - keep us posted - we'll be watching to hear from you!

You must be so excited. Don't forget to put your surgery on the calendar, and check out the Oct. sleeve group for the others also having surgery this month.

It is wonderful that you can have it done so quickly, and soon you will be one of the "losers"!!

Take care and let us know how you are getting along.

Thank you guys for your prayers! I went into surgery on Tuesday and came home yesterday afternoon. I'm on my way to recovery. I can't say that I haven't wondered if I did the right thing since the surgery, but I guess that's normal.

This is day 4 and I'm not feeling too bad. The worse thing is I have the drainage bag and tube hanging out of my stomach! Yuck! I don't get it out until tuesday. I think I'll feel better after then.

Thanks for all your prayers!

Yes, I think that is a very normal thought - at least I know I went through those thoughts.

Each day gets better and better - walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
