I just through a knee replacement in March, so I find that the surgery itself is not frightening me. It is the nausea I have heard about. I don't deal well with it. I never have. I will get through it and begin my new life, but the thought of being nauseous is a tough hurdle for me. I guess I'm just not a good "puker". Isn't it strange how different people have different fears?

Yay! So exciting! Please update as soon as you can after surgery!

I nervous the night before. When I went to bed I prayed and gave all my worries to God. I woke up the next morning calm and at peace and felt that way all the way up to the time I fell asleep for surgery! It was a wonderful feeling!:)

I completely understand about the nausea! I am soooo scared to throw up and it doesn't happen very often for me at all, only 2 times in the last 15 years. The good news for me was that I didn't have any nausea whatsoever! I was so thankful for that, I hope that you will be one of the lucky ones like I was!

I was sleeved last Wed. The only time I felt like I was going to throw up was when I had to drink the Barium. I kept saying "I am going to throw up" and the guy said "oh no you are not." I said "how do you know?" He said "because everyone feels like it but no on has ever actually thrown up." I didn't throw up and haven't felt like it since.

I have not had any problems at all. I am convinced that the "attitude" you go into the surgery with is a big factor in determining your outcome after the surgery. I have not had any problems with anything so far. I feel so much better already and even went to church this morning I felt so good.

      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.
