My surgery is scheduled for 7:30 AM tomorrow morning. Really scared, wondering if I'm making a huge mistake!! Received lots of good wishes at work today (which helped a little) and my family is super supportive. I want to say thanks to all the VST members and their support over the last few weeks too -- answering my posts have calmed my nerves too. See you all on the "loser side".

You have to own it girl. If you are doing this for your health than you have to cheer out and say I'm doing this to help my quality of life. Own It!!! You just have to close your eyes and step into the unkown, and let me tell you when you do that it will completely change your life for ever. I do have one regret, and that is not having it done sooner..I love my sleeve!!!! I would do it 100 times over.. YOu will have a rocky start but once you get past all of that you will shine like a star. So When you have surgery sip as much Water as possible and walk walk walk.. The more you walk and drink the quicker you will heal..

Great! I hope it comes and goes and you get back on here to encourage the likes of ME! Mine is April 8th. I cannot tell you how excited I am for you! I'm nervous, too, but we wouldn't be normal if we weren't. And look at what hoops we've gone through to get to this point. I'm very proud of all of us! go, go, go and sip and walk and sip and walk. It will be over and done with and you can sleep and sleep and sip and dream of those smaller sizes to come! Best to you----

Saying a little prayer that everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow. Just remember to sip constantly and walk as soon as they let you get up. Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk.

Best of luck ... the first few days could be a breeze or "what have I done". Just remember that it will pass & you will be a LOSER in no time. Keep us posted on your progress.

      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.
