I am getting sleeved on May 16th! I am excited and nervous all at the same time.

I have been on my liquid diet for 9 days and have lost 17 pounds!

I know I'm not the only one nervous here but bare with me, I need to get a few thoughts out. Monday is the day. I rationalize it, I explain it but this really comes down to I can no longer lose this weight by myself. I am powerless (step 1) - I have been so powerless I screwed up my metabolism so terribly it basically laughs at me when I want to lose weight now. I know I am making the right decision for my body but.... There is risk in every surgery. I am just so scared I maybe making a really selfish decision and not end up waking up from this surgery. I would leave my 6 yo, who it took 7 years to get pregnant with, alone. This is one time in my life I don't want to be the stand out and have Murphy's law find me. Please pray for me and against these crazy thoughts. I know God is a God of peace but sometimes the longest distance is from your head to your heart....I've been praying for each one of you who posts. We are all embarking on brand new lives in so many ways.

I think anytime you have surgery it is a fear many people have. I would be lying if I didn't have the same fear. However, I know that if I keep traveling on same path that I have been, I won't be here much longer for my children and they need me.

I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers.

I am still in Mexico. Got sleeved 2 days ago & doing fantastic! I have had no pain & just minimal nausea, the first 24 hours.

Just been sipping on Vitamin Water & going to go out soon with Dr Kelly, his wife & Omar for some broth. Yum, I can't wait, I feel hungry now!

That is great! I hope I will be so lucky. I have had surgery five times and always recover from the anesthesia with vomiting for a good 24 hours. My surgeon is aware and is going to do everything to keep that from happening. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, so more nervous about the expected nausea.

Yeah I had some mild nausea with dry heaving a couple of times. But only for about 24 hours. I was more worried about the gas pain, that never happened!

My last laproscopic surgery was a gyn, and i had the shoulder pain the first night but it went away, not sure how different this will be and how much gas internally will be.

Wow today is a bad day did some run around. I feel light headed I think clear fuilds is not doing it so I had some cream Soup I hope it dont miss anything up. I see different people have different diets. From research it seems its up to what your doctor wants to do with the clear and full liquids. I dont know I hope i didnt miss up but i cant feel like falling out.

      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.
