Thanks to all who gave me the advice i needed when I was thinking of cancelling. I pressed on & had my sleeve done yesterday. Had no problems at all including no nausea. Was discharged today at noon. Just sipping Isopure & Water hoping it continues to go well. It all seemed to go too smoothly so I am hoping it continues this way! I am flying back home on Sunday. Thanks again for all of the encouragement. I guess now the real work begins.

Way to go! I think the REAL work was the learning about the procedure and deciding to do it. I'm exactly 4 weeks out today. I just had very good homemade turkey vegetable Soup and it was delicious! It all takes some getting used to. Congrats to you!

Actually once you are few weeks out its really easy. I'd forget I was sleeved once and while only to be reminded with tight restriction upon a few bites. I love exercising now because I know I won't go home and eat so much I cancel out the entire workout! Sounds like you are doing great!

      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.
