Tomorrow Is The Big Day



Recommended Posts

I am so excited and scared. Tomorrow at 11AM I go to the hospital for my sleeve. I have never had surgery before. My new life begins on June 27th. I have to say that I cannot wait to be able to actually chew food again. I feel like soft foods are just around the corner. I have done pretty well on my pre-op diet. I have not stepped on a scale, but I will find out how I did tomorrow. 306 pounds is a thing of the past. I am ready to be a huge loser. Thank you to everyone on the hundreds of posts that I have read. You all have inspired me and helped me know that this tool is what I need to do for myself. I love hearing what everyone else has been through. I really look forward to sharing all of my success with each of you. Wish me luck!!! :rolleyes:

Good luck hun, rest up and relax tomorrow is the start to the rest of your life! Btw good job on not watching the scale, no need to stress out before the surgery. I know when I get to the week before I am having my hubby hide mine so I won't be worried about losing or not losing. Non scale victory you now don't have to worry about insurance company nonsense and all the appointments!

      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.
