Just got the call for my surgery time on Monday, very excited but getting a little nervous. Any last minute suggestions from all of you on the losers bench? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations!!!

I'm only 9dpo, but the best advice I can give is walk walk walk as soon as possible!! Also sip as much as possible. During your first week, don't focus so much on your Protein intake, just try to get in as much fluids as you can. Take it easy and remember to use a small pillow to splint your stomach when coughing or rising up from a sitting or laying position.

4 more days!!! :D

My Surgery is March 19 at 7 am. Very excited an scared. This is a long time coming. Just curious what to expect that first time I take my first sip after surgery? That is my biggest fear right now.

That is great everyone. We will all have to keep in touch an help each other out. I know I am on the countdown already to surgery. Looking at 40 hours till surgery time. Getting very excited. How is everyone doing with pre-op clear liquid diet. So far I am okay not missing the food. Married with 3 kids an meals still have to go on. I am drinking Isopure it has 40 grams of Protein in it so I do half a bottle in am and other half at lunch. (tastes and like koolaide) Then tonight I am going to try Injury protein mix at dinner with my sf Jello and Popsicle. Hope everyone has great day.

I'm getting a little nervous and sometimes wonder if I'm doing the right thing but I know that this will be the best thing I can do for myself to get healthy. I'm so glad to see so many of us with the same date! I look forward to hearing from all of you later this week to hear how everything went. Good luck to you all!

I understand the nerves. My husband got sleeved a year ago last week so I know what to expect and I'm still a little anxious. Decided to take my last ever trip the Lane Bryant today to buy a bra that doesn't have an underwire. I read somewhere on another post that one woman said that was one thing she wished she knew before surgery.

To quote Bob Marley, "Everything little thing's gonna be alright". :)

Good luck to all of us tomorrow. By Wednesday, I hope to hear that you are all well on your way to recovery and a brand new life with me. :)

      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.
