Caspinlli712, I am scheduled for surgery Monday as well and I am also worried and excited at the same time but worried. I am so glad to see that it is normal because I was beginning to think twice about this. I know I need this more than anything. How are you doing on your pre-op diet?

Hi UPRR, it sounds like we should be sleeve buddies. Like you I am so nervous and keep second guessing myself should I go thru with this but I always just look in the mirror and know I have to do this. I am just sick of being overweight and always the big girl in the room. I just want my life back and have some fun. I think we are both are experiencing very normal feelings. I will be so happy next week at this time. Good luck and keep me posted. We can compare notes and help each other thru this chapter of our lives. God Bless. Cheryl

Oh suck! :( Did they give you a reason why?

yes...my stupid dr office didnt tell me that the hospital needed there part paid 3 days before surgery so they are making me push it back to Monday. the girl that works for my dr is an idiot and soooo rude. i finally had a breakdown on the phone today with the NP and she promised me that that girl will not be allowed to call me anymore! but its only a few more days...

I had my pre-op today and got the green light for my surgery on the 21. I was also told to start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. They want me to use the "new directions" shakes (I heard they are awful). Please wish me luck. Good luck and prayers go to all my fellow sleevers. Hugs

I'm experiencing something and I need to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet' date=' and for the past 2 days I've had unbelievably bad breath. My wife could smell it from across the room. I can taste it in my mouth, and my tongue even feels weird, almost numb. Is this from going into ketosis from the diet? I've done the Atkins diet several times, and never had anything anywhere near this bad.[/quote']

I did an all Protein diet similar to what most of us are doing for preop and it's ketosis and also from all the protein... Listerene strips!!

      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.
