Hi jewels1227! I'm a new member on this site and my sleeve is also tomorrow. Not nervous yet but trying to keep myself occupied today so I don't have to think about it. I'm on a clear liquid diet today which makes me WANT to eat something....just because I can't!! Good luck to you, hope all goes well!

Hey, Diane311. This forum is excellent...I am waiting on the phone call to tell me the time! We are sleeve buddies....lets stay connected....

@Changefromwithin.find a hospital or doctor that will do the surgery and make a appointment. At that appointment they will discuss your next steps. Most doctors that specialize already have everything mapped out for you. I started my process last year in November, and they had a waiting list. So now I am getting sleeved tommorrow. Depending on your insurance and the doctor you get to do it it could be quicker...make sure you do all of your research FIRST!

Good luck and I am here if you need any assistance! :)

So excited for y'all! I was sleeved two weeks ago today :) and it's amazing!! I've already lost about 20 lbs... I was feeling the same thing you guys were the day before! Very anxious but it's so easy! The pain varies from person to person but I was off pain meds in 4 days and back running a normal life by day 4/5!! You'll do Great! The mental hunger is the most challenging part of it.. But I'm learning slowly but surely it's still a journey!! But sooo worth it!! You will start to feel amazing in no time

      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.
