:D I'm also getting sleeved 5/22!

Yes... time is really speeding up. I'm trying so hard to get everything in order at work to be out for 2 weeks, and that seems to make time go by even faster!

Yes I'm very excited. I did my pre op on Wed. That's when it really hit me. You have to do so much to prepare urself then when the time does come it hits ya.

Yes! I started my 2 week pre-op diet on Wednesday, and when I got home from work and all of my Vitamins and such were sitting at my door step it made it so very real! My pre-op is next Friday. I completely hear you on the when the time hits you, you get every emotion coming through your mind, but I am so ready for this anything negative is quickly put to rest.

Yay! We're Sleeve Siblings!! :D

I go to pre-op next Thursday. I keep feeling what I think at first is fear, but if I stop and let myself explore the "fear" feeling further, I realize I'm not scared at all. I think I'm just ready to go and excited and grateful! Like, fall-on-my-knees-tears-of -joy-grateful. I'm also really curious about what the whole experience will be like. It's definitely an adventure!!

That's exactly how I feel. My sister had it done in 2011 she lost 150 pounds and pretty much still maintains.

      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.
