I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am a new member and am on day seven of my ten day liquid diet. My doctor allows no solid food what so ever, so I am a bit of a grumpy bear but I know it will all be worth it. I am scheduled to be sleeved on the 31st and I have never been so scared and excited at the same time. I imagine everyone feels this way. I look forward to being an active member on here, and wish everyone the best.

I'll be joining the two of you...I'm being sleeved on Halloween too. I guess one of the advantages is, I don't have to buy all that candy for the neighborhood kids (that I normally end up eating a lot of anyway). I'm now 10 days into a 14 day 'liquids only' pre-op diet. And strangely enough, my hunger is already all but gone. And even more strange, I've somehow started to REALLY like my vanilla Protein Shakes. That may not be the case post-op but for now, it's working out pretty well. I wish you both the best of luck on our Halloween 'date' ;)

I just noticed this post today but I wanted to wish you halloween sleevers good luck.

Thanks Felicia. Surgery went off without a hitch yesterday and I just got home about an hour ago. I was feeling some nausea while in the hospital but since I got home, the nausea seems to have subsided. I've yet to have the need to take any pain meds, even while in the hospital. I hope all the other Halloween sleevers' procedures went through as easy as mine. It all seems a bit surreal now....my life's new chapter has officially begun!

      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.
