My surgery was done perfectly. I had no need for pain medicine' date=' no throwing up, no issues whatsoever. The preop diet was kind of hard the first few days, but it gets easier as time goes by. Just try to take it easy and not be overly active. You'll be very weak if you do because of your calorie intake. You're lucky to just have a one week preop. Mine was two and they were thinking about three (they crossed that out on my sheet).

I'll be praying for you.

I can tell you I consulted with a few doctors and was wheeled into the OR with complete confidence in my decision of picking Dr Kim. I was anxious to get it over with, but I wasn't the least bit nervous or scared.[/quote']

Moe that is so comforting to read! I'm getting sleeved with Dr Kim June 10th... 4 weeks from today! Ack!! Nervous and excited at the same time!

You'll get the hang of it and it will become second nature! The new 'habits' we start, good habits, will keep us 'honest' and on track, at least I'm counting on that!!

      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.
