Believe it or not, it goes by fast.

In the mean time, just prepare yourself mentally and physically.

Get in the habit of exercising or taking your daily Vitamins etc.

You can do it!! I know you can.

and also prepare your head hunger. . .try to train yourself now to test if your really hungry or just "think" your hungry. this is a big part of success with the sleeve. What you do is this. . . say you've eatten your first meal. . .then about 2 hours later you say, wow I'm hungry. . . stop everything your doing and "listen" to your tummy. . . is it growling? No, then your NOT hungry, you may just be thirsty, go drink Water or crystal light. . but don't eat. . . then when lunch comes, eat your meal and repeat. . this is especially important to do if your a night eater like the majority of us. . .if you really are hungry and your tummy is truly growling, eat a fruit or something light, and not a candy bar or junk food. . . its tough, but you can do it, just like the rest of us have. . . . 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.
