My date is Dec 3rd. I'm so afraid and excited. I wish I could just get this over with. I'm mostly afraid of the pain after the surgery which is crazy because I had twins with no epideral. I'm also worried of extra skin, I have about 100lbs to loose. Then again I'm so excited that I can work out and play with my kids without being out of breath. I feel like I'm going to chicken out sometimes. I feel overwhelmed sometimes. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Hay Mortensen! looool i'm having my surgery same day.I feel the same way except i thing i feel more excited. I'm just sick of being big.I also have about 90 lbs.to lose

December 10th is my new sleeve date. Looks like Santa will be packing surgical steel and a lathoscope!! The figgy-pudding is going to have to boiled, strained and pureed!! Still less than pleased about the catheter... no one needs to down that chimney... quick quick quick. Next post hopefully will be in the car headed to the hospital. Goooooooooo sleevers!

SLEEVED!!!!! It wasn't easy, but then again nothing worth having comes easy. The first might was rough, getting up and walking was the best counter measure for the gas pains, thank creation for morphine pumps. Second day drinking Water and juice was difficult , a cap full works. My doctor told me I would fell 80% better the third day and he was RIGHT!! sleeping (just relaxing and resting seems to be the key as well! Don't be discouraged, you repair rapidly!!

Well, I must say I was pleased with out come. Healing good, body is responding nicely and the gas is milder. No pain meds since noon yesterday. I'm moving around great and hitting the mark on the breather. To my surprise I'm getting Isopure done almost better than Water. I don't want to jinks myself but trust me It's nothing compared to what your mind would have you believe.

Highest 265 low 254.4 gain back 256.4

Checked in at 256.4

Checked out at 257.4

Checked today 253.6

Can't wait to be released for workout!

I wish the remaining sleevers the best of luck. This is the best thing you could do for yourself!

      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.
