My surgery is on the 13th too. I am nervous and scared and excited

all at the same time. I'm getting a lot of static interference from the people at the job. They are trying to scare me for whatever

reason, especially since i'm going out to Mexico.

I had my surgery on June 13th. It was my very first ever surgery and other than the gas pain I didn't really have any pain!

OMG I was just sleeved on July 9th. I did not feel any pain, not even the gas. Now I do have a lot of prayer warriors in my family and I consider it the grace of God but honestly I could go back to work tomorrow if I had to. My surgeon was great and the only thing I really worry about is eating and drinking enough I am never never hungry :/ never had this problem before LOL! But really never crave or hungry it is so crazy! Don't worry ! It will be over before you know it and it is NOT painful. :) good luck!!

      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.
