Mine is on the 19th only a few on here with that date. So i hope im not butting in. I go Monday for my upper endo. The pre op has not been to bad I've had 3 weeks of muscle milk light. I've lost 25lbs so far and 12lbs before the pre op. I've been trying to talk myself out of the surgury so I'm guessing my nerves are getting to me. But I'm committed to do it. I'm not getting younger (40) and its getting harder the more I gain. Was 352lbs I am just really nervous my wife has had 2 c-sections and her Gaul bladder out. She calls me a big wimp. I guess I'll see. Good luck to y'all to.

I am having pain on the right side and in my back I am trying to get down my liquids. I was able to on yesterday but today I am really struggling with it. I really don't want to get dehydrated so i am trying to force it. I am very weak today and have a slight headache.

I was sleeved on the 17th too. My first day was my worst by far, had a difficult time with the anesthesia, also have a very large hematoma on the right side of my abdomen.. I have to say that other than that and the occasional gas pain, I'm doing surprisingly well. Getting my fluids in is getting easier so much so that I called the NUT to be sure it was okay. I'm doing 8 oz of liquid in like 30 minutes

      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.
