Good luck today. I am sure you will do just great being nervous is completely normal If I can give you one word of advice it would be to not let your pain get out of control. The nurse got on to me because I was trying to be, as she called it, Superwoman. What I figured out is when my pain was adequately controlled, I felt so much better mentally. My pain was significant, but others have had hardly any at all. Whatever yours may be, keep it under control. I'm only 15 days out now and have absolutely zero regrets. Well, I do have 1 and that is that I wish I'd done it sooner. Check in with us when you feel up to it and let us know how you are doing!

Waiting for my ride. I'm a big chicken!

Ha ha, nah, it's just last minute jitters. Most of us can relate. Just try to relax and calm your mind this really is pretty easy as far as surgeries go.

Anyone have only 1 day in the hospital?

Most sleeves done in the US have very short hospital stays. Many have even reported being released same day as the surgury.

      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.
