THANKS everyone for coming together here and supporting me and each other. I have found so much useful information here. Starting at a lower BMI, I faced some negative reactions to this surgery (i also dont flaunt having sleep apnea and PCOS) and your encouragement and same stories makes me know this was the right choice. So Thank you all.

Ditto on the thanks for the support. I could not have made the decision to have my sleeve without reading so much valuable, sincere and honest information that everyone here has posted.

I'm now 4 days post-op and doing great. I'm at my hotel (been here since Wed!) and getting ready to fly home to Toronto tomorrow to see my wonderful hubby. Skype is great, but no substitute for his loving arms!

Can't wait until I actually start to eat (mushies are better than nothing!) in about 2 weeks!

I love this place too. I'm not on here as often anymore, but I really do love the sense of community here. It's rare for internet forums to be this friendly and nonjudgmental.

      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.
