nervous scared & excited

toy27

most all soon to be sleevers have the above emotions

completely normal

hold on to the excitement part

put the "nerves" on the way back burner

before you know it - it will be tomorrow :)

WLS will be over - you slept right through it :lol:

get a good rest in the hospital

walking, walking and more walking is important to get rid of any gas you might have

it also starts to give you some needed "strength"

drinking might be hard at first - take it slow - but due your best :)

you will be on the road to health and happiness and a longer lifetime :)

good luck

speedy recovery :)

It's pretty normal to be nervous. I was! It goes really quick and when you wake up you'll probably be in a little pain (nothing you can't handle) and lots of lovely gas. Walk as much and as often as you can - that's the way to feel better. sip, sip, sip - that is about all you'll be able to handle. Don't drink anything too fast. The first week is a little rough because you're trying to figure stuff out - but by the beginning of the second week I was home free. Make sure you take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. Most of all .... don't look back. You'll love the sleeved life - I certainly do! Good luck and keep us posted. We'll be thinking 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.
