All done!! Just waking up from surgery and am on my room. Mouth is dry but that's expected. Nurse gave me glycerin swabs to wipe the inside of my mouth. I am so happy and look forward to the rest of my recovery.

Was a bit nauseous in recovery room and remember saying I was scared ...but was already done.

Today is day one of my preop diet and I've had one shake and I'm hungry... I knew day three and four were days I would struggle but the morning of day one is not giving me much hope for success.

Emily! I was the same way I think it was the reality of "this is it". And everywhere I went, I'd see McDonald's, etc. and think to myself "never again". I was starving! (Or so I thought)

But I'm happy to say that I made it and I'm currently in my hospital bed having been sleeved Monday night. You will make it as well. Keep the faith.

Don't give uo, it is super hard but the results are many. I felt the same way b4 my 14day pre-op diet and I lost 18# before surgery. I was sleeved 10/11/12. U can do it!

Ok so I told myself that if I could make it 3 weeks on the preop diet without cheating then I would have my favorite Breakfast today, favorite lunch tomorrow and favorite dinner Friday. Then liquid diet Saturday and Sunday. Today I got 1 kolache from the kolache factory. It took me 30 minutes to eat it. And now I feel like I have a rock in my stomach!

      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.
