Everyone has second, third, or even hundredth thoughts--that just shows that you're taking the process seriously. If you went skipping merrily off to the pre-op exam room, I'd be worried. ;)

You're making a wonderful choice for your body and your future. Change can be nervewracking, but the results are going to make it all worthwhile. You'll do great; and you have plenty of people here pulling for you!

I'm scheduled to be at the hospital at 730am tomorrow. Not sure if my surgery is 1st or 5th on the list for my surgeon so we might be getting sleeved at the same time by different surgeons. I'm not nervous about the surgery but instead a little anxious and a little worried---anxious to get it over with and worried about the recovery and learning to eat again but this too shall pass. Then we are on our way to thinner! Adding you as a friend...keep in touch and let me know how you are doing and I'll do the same!

Yes, the surgery is not why I'm nervous... It's the recovery (I hate vomiting) learning to eat and drink differently. The first week is what I'm mostly scared about. I hear the first 3 days are the worst.

I had the sleeve on Thursday, and I have not vomited 1 time. I have a bit of an upset stomach but the nurse gave me a pepsid pill, which I was scared to death to try and swollow, it went down fine, no problem. I really wasn't that bad, but today we normally go out to eat on Sunday after church, and I am really missing that!!

You will be fine, it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. good luck!!

I have to be at the hospital at 7:15 in the morning!! I'm sooo nervous about the surgery itself! I've only been in the hospital once and it was having my daughter. I'm not worried about learning to eat afterward.... Actually looking forward to that. Prayers for everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!

      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.
