I'm in the group tomorrow too - I'm so excited !!! I started packing and organizing and well' date=' probably over doing anything that's needed (like writing down all sorts of "in the hospital" and "when I'm home" lists for my mom who is taking care of me). I'm a dork - but I have to do something with all the excited energy - I know I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Good luck my fellow 13th sleevers - can't wait til we're all on the losers bench this time tomorrow !![/quote']

Haha Duran! I'm an organizer too. I have about 4 different lists. I'm glad I did though because I've been a little scatterbrained today and it really helped me focus today. Well, I guess I'll go get packed. Finally! Hugs to all of my fellow June 13th-ers!!!!!

I'm back. Everything went well but it was a rough couple of days. The anesthia was the worst. It made me sick a least 5 times. I feel much better now and I am sipping on my liquids more. How is all of my 13th sleevers doing?

Congrats, glad to have you back! I was sleeved on the 13th too and it was pretty easy, given the circumstances and when I say it was easy, I chalk a lot of that up to everything I learned on these forums - I was very well educated on what to expect. My hardest struggle so far is remembering to take it easy and not over do it.

Mine was good ALSO! I will have to say that coming out of surgery I was HOT and did not want the ox mask on at all. But this has been on of the best experience of my life. I am getting a pedicure right now by my doctors daughter in my beautiful hotel room. Having surgery in TJ was the best choice I made with Dr. Kelly. His family treats you like family.

Dr.Kelly is doing my surgery July 2nd. He hasn't had me complete any medical forms. Will that happen later? Did someone go with you? Thanks :)

      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.
