Any advice from anyone is appreciated! I've been following everything I had to do for this surgery the past 7 months and I just received the phone call yesterday that I am APPROVED!!! I have one more week of college classes then a week of finals to get through before I move back home so the date is perfect for having enough time to prepare for surgery and recover in time to start work in June. I am sooooo excited for this surgery I have been just glowing with happiness the last two days. :D Advice would be apprieciated :) Thannkkksssss

Congrats! My advice, follow your pre-op diet. It's hard the first three days but once you get through it you'll feel a lot better. I was sleeved on Tuesday 4/10 at the age of 25 so I'm still freshly sleeved. So pre op is all I can offer lol that and have a good support system.

Congrats again :) see ya on the losers bench soon

I am so excited. I am having mine done in Mexico. I was a lite nervous at first, but now I have watched so many youtube videos and so many people have positive things to say.

Anyone have their surgery in mexico?

      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.
