I'm having my sleeve done on the 21st. I'm so excited and I wish the day would hurry up and get here. I start my liquid diet on Friday the 7th. It seems like time is going by so slow..... Is anyone doing a video journal on Youtube? I am. My channel is VSGJean. I love watching videos of everyone's success stories. Let me know if you have a channel, I would love to watch and see your achievements.

My op is October 3rd and I am SOOOO looking forward to it! Does anyone know if smoking is bad for u before the surgery ? Should I stop now?

Smoking is bad PERIOD! My hospital won't operate on you unless you quit and pass a nicotine test. Why don't you take this opportunity to make yourself healthier all around and quit.

feels thank for the support im ok now

scorp dont be so hard on me pls. i apprieciate your concern but i already felt bad. im over it now

I think someone needs to be hard on you. When you have the sleeve, especially for the first few months you will not be ABLE to eat that kind of food and if you do can lead to some serious issues. Think of this the next time you want to put some greasy fried chicken in your mouth. I know this is hard but you have to buckle down and say NO!!

Today is clear liquid which is a bit harder than the Protein Shakes etc. but I am so happy about surgery that it isn't bothering me!!

Good luck to you all. I will check in when I can :)

I've suffered from acid reflux for years. I take the Wal-mart brand(s) of Zantac 150mg times 2 and Prilosec 20.6mg every night. If it is bad during the day I will take two of the Prilosec. I also have Tums/Rolaids "smoothies". I usually don't have to eat the Rolaids, but if it's bad at night, they are nice to have. Just ask the Pharmacist what the prescription dosage is for the OTC meds. I hope that helps. I did take Nexium, but my crappy insurance told me to take OTC meds.

      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.
