Just got word today that I'm having surgery on Tuesday, 7/3 at 10:30am! Additionally, I'm having a hernia repaired at the same time. I'm self-pay but, because of the hernia, my insurance co. will pay benefits to everyone but the surgeon for the sleeve. GREAT NEWS! Looking forward to the surgery. Some concerns but I'm good to go!

Now, my stress is arround what I need to purchase and put in place before Tuesday. Blood sugar is up a bit and I need to get it down. Need to figure out which Protein shake, Clear liquids, etc to stock up on. Which Vitamins to buy, etc. Please help! Running out of time. Thanks.

LOL I love how excited you are! I have that same excitement! I can't wait to wear NO SHIRT whenever i damn well please and not be embarrassed about it, or just take off my clothes in front of someone and not want to crawl under the sheets and turn out the lights LOL

Our lives are going to change so much and it's just so damn exciting!

I've seen a lot of talk about the 2 oz cups and lids...what for exactly?

And yes we will be BIG LOSERS!

Talk to you soon & Congrats!

My surgery is Tuesday and I'm starting to get scared....will I wake up from the anasthesia? Will I be able to get up and walk around? Will I hurt? What will I drink? Will I be able to drink? How will I sleep? Will I be able to live on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks? Wish my mom was here to calm my fears....

No prob! My pleasure.

After a squillion ignorant people telling me how risky, pioneering and unknown this surgery is, and how I must be crazy to even think of doing it- it is somewhat reassuring to see how many people ARE doing it. And we represent a very small few of people having it all over the world. Pretty cool.

I'm glad you are so pumped for this- so am I! It will be a difficult journey but so worth it.

Good luck for the 25th- I'll have been a sleever for 23 days by then!

My surgery date is July 2nd.. I'm starting to have mixed emotions I was fine up til now.. these last 2 weeks on the pre op diet has been the hardest thing I've ever done! I couldn't believe my struggle but I handled it like a champ. I have my Vitamins ready.. I spent a small fortune on them lol!! (Well for me it was). I just ordered some sample packets of Protein. I'm reading what I can to prepare myself.. for pain, hunger, dehydration, getting sick... And that's what has me getting nervous!

      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.
