Tomorrow Morning! Nervous as all get out. arranged for the dog sitter' date=' cleaned the house, filled the bird feeder, ate everything in sight! I made my husband and daughter promise not to visit! My husband is going to drop me off, then come back and wait in the waiting room to talk to the surgeon. I think if I am going to be miserable, I'd rather be miserable by myself or maybe with my two little dogs, but not with anyone else. Why can't my dogs come with me?

I am so happy for the support of all of you. Thank you big time to Jessielynn who shares my surgeon and to ChrisRN and Boston George. All were sleeved on 11/5 and I've been thrilled to watch their progress. Thanks, guys.

Just called and got my check in time for the hospital- I have to be there at 6:15am and I'm the first surgery of the day so I should be in between 7-8am. Trying not to be nervous. Ahhhh. I'm super excited but now the nerves are like 'hello, I'm here!' lol. Not even hungry today.

I go for surgery on Thursday and I'm super nervous! I just found out I have a fibrous bone lesion on my pelvic bone. I had a problem with a rare blood disorder when I was younger that caused the same type of problem, but I refuse to push back my surgery because I have met my out of pocket and would rather have the surgery for free then worry about how I'd pay for it next year after I figured out what they are gonna do with my pelvic bone.

My family is not supporting my decision, although my fiance is. My mother was supposed to be at my surgery, but now she can't because she wants to save her personal days to go with me to visit the hematologist after surgery. I am so grateful that my fiance and best friend will be there with me, but it won't be the same as having my mom there. I just hope everything works out perfect so no one could say I told you so.

Hello all! I was sleeved yesterday. I am home and feeling fine. It was almost easy. Well, at least compared to what I thought it would be. The hardest part was trying to get some sleep in the hospital. I am tender and sore and a bit tired. But I feel strong and confident. I am happy to be in my quiet home. Thanks to all for your suppot. And, hey there sleevers to be, QUIT WORRYING!! Unless you use that emotion to clean. It was great walking into a clean, quiet house. Seriously, don't worry. Goodnight all.

      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.
