Good luck!!

Will be sending you healing prayers for your procedure tomorrow.

If you are going to Heartland they will even bring in a cot for your husband (or your caregiver) to stay overnight and all of his meals will be complimentary. I really don't remember too much while I was there but I remember the care was excellent.

Looking forward to hearing from you when you are up to it.

Best Wishes! Yay! You are going to LOVE your sleeve. (Just keep that in your head the first few days when you are healing. LOL). The sleeve is so awesome and has changed my life in such a great way. I hope the same for you!

The first 24 hours are the worst, after that you will actually feel yourself feeling better by the hour! Welcome to your new life.

      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.
