I am being sleeved June 11. I start my pre-op food tomorrow, well actually today now. Im getting really nervous as the time gets closer. I had the EGD done a couple of weeks ago and he found a hernia that he will also repair. Anyone with encouraging words would be greatly appreciated about now. Lol

Arts - best of luck on your surgery. I was 66 when I had it done. I see you are older. I see your posts all the time. Prayers coming your way. You won't regret it.

I am having surgery on June 6. I am looking forward to getting this completed. I started my journey last September. My husband and I are doing this together. He had surgery May 9 and is doing great. I have a little catching up to him, but we are supporting each other in this journey. I started clear liquid diet today and so far I am getting through this day.....one day at a time. :)

My surgery is june 6th also! Start liquids only tomorrow. My decision to have bariatric surgery was only made after intensive research and talking with lots of people who have had it done. I originally was looking at bypass because my insurance would not cover the sleeve. So glad that insurance starting covering the sleeve in January. So thankful as I believe that the sleeve is what is right for me! I have run the gamut of emotions! Happy, excited, nervous, scared and now back to ready to start the next phase of this incredible journey!

      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.
