Mine is tomorrow as well, I fly to San Diego this afternoon. I am a little nervous, but since I work in a Hospital and have for over 25 years - that part is a little bit less frightening to me. It is an overwhelming life change, but I think definitely for the better. We will have to keep track of our losses :D and progress. I will send good vibes your way. Jean

Hey everyone thanks for all the comments! I'm home now but it has not been the greatest couple of days for me! I had "sleever's remorse" the first night...it was awful but with each day I'm feeling.g better. My sleeve is really tight so getting liquids down is tough. Keep praying for guys! Thanks!

Don't worry, EVERYONE has a hard time getting fluids down the first few days!! And it gets easier everyday to get the liquids in so you'll be fine I'm sure. Congrats on the new sleeve!! I had a day of remorse too, but there's no going back even if we wantedwink.gif But trust me, in time it will be the last thing we will ever regret!!

I was a MESS before surgery and guess what??? I am doing great and it all worked out fine!! Yes, it will be tough in the beginning but that is TEMPORARY!!! I am 11m 1/2 weeks out and I lost 52 POUNDS!!!! That's like a year's worth of weight without the surgery.

Relax, Breathe deep and Visualize all the things you will be able to do that your weight prevented you from doing.

good luck!!!:D

      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.
