You are HYSTERICAL! You will do fine! My surgery is in May but I get the feeling!

April 26th for me too - I can hardly wait for it to be over!

I say "over" when it's just the beginning, but the months of jumping through hoops will be great to have as a thing of the past.

I didn't have to have a 6-month supervised diet, but it has been over 4 months since I went to the 1st seminar.

Now I keep thinking something will go wrong; that the doctors will start the surgery and then say...

"Sorry to inform you that we discovered an Alien incubating in your stomach - we had to cancel the procedure. Also, you owe us 60,000 because the feisty little sucker spit acid all over the stapler and then bit a nurse"...

Best of luck to you (and me)...

Can't believe its here already! I've been kind of in a weird state of surrealism, like it isn't really happening. Yet here I am on day 2 of pre-op liquids and tomorrow I head to California! Surreal.....

Good luck to the rest of April sleevers!

I just got sleeved on April 18th, it's been one week today. Pain has not been too bad at all, actually a little surprised on how well I've felt, was expecting much worse. I will say this, I am sick of Soup. I want to just taste something different even if its just a bite or two.

Good luck everybody

J.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.
