The countdown is on! I am less than 24 hrs from becoming sleeved. Had a dream last night that the surgeon came to talk to me and asked if I was ready. I said yes without any reservation. I'm taking that as a good sign that I am : ) this day can go either way, very long or very short. Either way tomorrow at 8 am it is. Again I am so thankful for this site and all the information that has been posted. I feel less anxious. Wish me luck!

Totally agree. I'm getting sleeved tomorrow too. Today has been the "get things in order" day. Cleaning, doing laundry and other stuff. As I know sure as the sun rises and sets my hubby won't be able to do everything , so I have given him a headstart. No dirty clothes or dishes. Floors swept and mopped. Clean everything. So he can do other things and not worry about all of that. He decided to take two weeks off with me. So he will be my nurse for a few days. LOL.....Today so far for me has been very productive. Good Luck to us all.:D

I have been getting things done for 2 weeks like cleaning out the garage food shopping for the family ordered and received my Protein packets Vitamins, etc.....laundry yesterday. My oldest child is home for spring break so he will be able to help me if I need him. At least that is what I am counting on. Lol. Where are you having your surgery done? I am 8 am also

I'm having my surgery done in Ocala, Fla. At Ocala Regional Medical Center. My Doc is Dr. Jawad. I'm scheduled for 7:00 am but have to figure in last minute things. So maybe like 8:00 or 8:30 am. Give or take. He is more excited than I am I believe. LOL....

      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.
