I'm beginning to get incredibly nervous about my surgery that is finally happening tomorrow! I'm still in disbelief that the time is here. I can't wait to start this new/extended journey. Yet, it's still a little nerve racking. Hearing my son say the words, "I'm gonna miss you, Mommy" made me year up-as I HATE being away from him. However, he is the reason I am doing it! I'm just going to keep moving forward to better myself for me, my son, and my family.

I had My sleeve May 30. I was very nervous before and up to the surgery. The first day was rough. Do not be afraid to ask for pain meds or nausea meds. I got a little nauseous once. That was it. You will do fine. I had very little pain too. Stay positive!! Best wishes.

      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.
