I am getting sleeved May 10th also, by Dr Kelly down in Mexico. I am excited & nervous!

I need to tell my PCP & am nervous about that. Don't think she will be very happy, but if she kicks up a fuss I will just change doctors!

May 10 is my date! Nervous ! I hope I am making the right choice.

Hey shanon !

I know being nervous is only natural. I know I made the right decision because the alternative is to do nothing and then nothing will change. I only wish I had done it years ago. I hope your nerves settle a bit but just know its natural to be nervous. This is life altering!

I am May 7 and have a myriad of emotions. Excited, nervous, ready for change. My first challenge is getting thru the 2 weeks pre op plan with 2 crazy weeks of work! I am hoping that my stress levels do not go on overload and even more so go away with the surgery.

      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.
