Good luck! I was sleeved last Tuesday, April 10th. I was excited and nervous and before I knew it I was in recovery. Don't remember anything after entering the OR.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY! Take a LOT of pictures...it is my only regret. I took about 10 and it wasn't enough. You will want many showing yourself in different outfits (including a bathing suit) and many different angles to really see the difference.

Oh, the picture idea is great. The thought of taking pictures, however, makes me sick. Icky. But it is a wonderful idea, to get photos. Not sure who I can get to take them but I have a week to figure it out.

I took pictures of myself with yoga type pants and just my bra. Didn't like the way it looked, but felt like I needed to do it.

      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.
