I will be heading to the hospital in two hours for surgery at 10am......tossed and turned all night and even had to cry myself to sleep. So nervous and scared at the same time... Sending prayers your way! We can do this!

Sleeved - the throwing up hurts like crap. The nurses mentioned nothing about walking - I asked them but still waiting.

Hang in there, Ms.Cali!!! Don't be too proud to ask for pain meds and anti-nausea meds!!! Use the nurses to your advantage! Walk, walk, walk!!!!! It does get better, I promise!!! Good luck!!!

Congratulations new sleevers!!! I'm happy you all are doing well!!!

Thank you mezzane!

I think that's my problem - I have to push the nurse button 6 times before one of them show up an hour and half later.

      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.
