It's almost here! :) The nerves have finally hit me and I have begun counting down the hours. I'm still super excited just a little nervous. How is everyone else feeling? I can't wait to come back here after surgery and see how everyone is doing! I'm so glad we have this board. The support, encouragement and advice we get from everyone here is amazing! :)

Good Luck to everyone!

ANOTHER JULY 18TH-ER HERE!!!! my nerves have not kicked in yet...not sure why...maybe it's all surreal. ¯\_()_/¯

I'm going to pack my bag tonight...i will pack very light. I glad it is finally here...seem like it took forever! I'm glad they day is finally here! I made homemade chicken broth and pureed chicken breast this past weekend. i have to run to wally world after work today for a couple more items and I'M READY!!!!!

I am somewhat concerned because my surgery isn't until 2:30pm, check in time is 12:30pm...i can't eat after midnight....YIKES!!!!! that's a long time! hopefully the excitement/nervous/somehting will take away my appetite. lol

I was not nervous at all until today. I started packing last night...I think that's what made it finally feel real. :)

You'll probably be to nervous/excited to eat anyways lol. Thankfully my check in is at 7:45 am or I would drive myself crazy with anticipation! Good luck! :)

I'm July 18th also!! I can't believe it's almost here. I'm very nervous, mostly that I'm going to get there and maybe my liver didn't shrink enough or something and they won't be able to do it. I've been on Clear Liquids for a week, but I hate to admit I cheated a bit here and there. Nothing to crazy though, so now I'm upset with myself that I ruined this chance. Today and tomorrow is nothing but liquids so I hope that helps. I only lost 10 pounds pre-op though so yeah, I'm nervous. Good luck to all of you!!!

I'm July 18th as well! I am super nervous! I'm afraid that my doctor will reschedule because I haven't lost enough weight or my liver didn't shrink! Full liquid diet for me tomorrow. I don't think I'll sleep much Tuesday night. It's becoming all too real!

Good luck to my fellow 18th Sleevers!

      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.
