Congrats!!!! I share the same Sleeve date w/you. I am actually getting nervous, b/c I have 2 week pre-op diet and I actually started it 02/21/12 instead of 02/28/12 and I am so glad that I did b/c the 1st 2 days were horrible for me. Can't wait to hit the Loser's Bench!!!!!!!Yay

My surgeon does only a 2 day preop liquid diet. He said I could do a week if I wanted - I'm thinking about doing it. I need to say goodbye to food before surgery. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time!

I have been scheduled for March 13th. This will be my 3rd surgery as I had the gastric band placed in August if 2008 and then removed in August of 2010. I am still as nervous as the first procedure. Has anyone else been fitted for a binder?

@Stacey, I wish that I only had to do a 2 day pre-op. I was asked why I started a week earlier. I knew going from having solids to liquids was gonna be hard for me. I am so glad that I started early b/c it was a challenge the first 2 days. I actually had the worst headache and nausea, but I am on day 4 and my actual pre-op start date is 02/28

A binder is to help support the stomach and back muscles in recovery after surgery. I am getting fitted on 2/28 and will know more about what its uses are.

      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.
