I was sleeved today. To be honest it wasn't that bad ( besides them not being able to start an IV after 3 tries). So they put it in my arm and not my hand. They gave me a sedative before I went into the Operating Room. I don't even remember going into the OR. I was very nausea's after surgery from the pain meds. The hardest part for me was the nausea. I kept asking for ice chips and that helped me alot. I feel no different when I drank Thankfully. So don't be nervous February Sleevers, Best Wishes to all ;)

My hospital pre-registration is today! Anything I should know before heading in at 1pm today? I'm just hoping nothing has changed w/ my date & time. The bariatric office said sometimes they have to change it and you will find out when you register at the hospital. I think that's the thing that I'm most nervous about right now. That it's been pushed back for some reason. Then again, I'm supposed to arrive at 5:15 am. What are the odds it gets rescheduled?

You will do great tomorrow!! I had no complications and I'm 8 days out and thrilled already. Stay positive and focus on the prize. You will do wonderfully! I'm praying for you! The very worst part of the whole process is the emotional side and worrying. The rest becomes just a blur after a few days. Focus and you will be fine. We are all here for you!!

You guys are going to do great. I am also 8 days out and can't tell I've had any surgery....well except I am constantly full. Everything is back to normal and I feel great.

I agree with Marcy, the emotional side is the hardest. Once surgery is over everything fads away. I am excited for all of you.

      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.
