I am being sleeved today with Dr. Nick! I am so nervous and excited. My surgery is scheduled for 11:30am but surgeries always run late so we shall see when I actually go in. AHHHH This is all so unreal. Talk to you guys on the other side!

Thanks so much everyone! Well I am out, I got out of surgery at approximately 2:15pm. I'm feeling alright overall actually. My ribs feel like they've been kicked but I'm told that's from the gas. I'm doing my breathing exercises and I've walked around the halls once. I'm pretty impressed with how I am feeling thus far, I may get to go home tomorrow!

However, I did not feel that great right out of surgery haha. I woke up with them telling me to breathe deeply and in my head I was saying "Oh dear God if this is how it is going to feel I instantly regret this decision!!!" but those feelings were over in about thirty minutes!

It has happened! It's here! I'm so excited for my future. To anyone that is wondering whether they can do this...YOU CAN! Welp, I'm a little drowsy (aka falling asleep, hehe) so I'd better get some rest. Thank you all for your wonderful words of encouragement.

SO happy you handled surgery well. Just remember every day from now until your fully recovered will get better. Just do what you can to get the fluids in, rest, sip sip sip, and walk. Looking forward to seeing you online and recovering even more soon.

      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.
