My Big Day is TOMORROW 8-9-11



Recommended Posts

I just got off the phone with scheduling from the hospital and my sleeve is scheduled for 6:00 AM tomorrow! I cannot believe it is here. I am feeling really excited and can't wait til it is over. I have a really good feeling about it and want to keep this positive attitude going into surgery and coming out. I just hope nothing changes it. The nervousness has not come yet but I am sure it will as tonight approaches and especially the morning hours. I will let you guys know how I make out. Please keep me in your prayers and thank all of you for your support and encouraging words, they mean more than you know!

You keep that positive attitude. You are going to do great. I am 13 days out and doing very well. Walking is SO important and makes you feel better.

Wishing you all the best!

Good luck Shell! I'll only be a few hours behind you in getting my own sleeve today. I pray we both do well. I have to be at the hospital at 8:45, and my surgery is scheduled for 10:45. I'm supposed to be in the hospital until Thursday. It's hard to believe the day has finally arrived.

I better go get some sleep now. I went to bed early but woke up at midnight. It's 2:30 a.m. now, so back to bed for a few hours.

      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.
