Well I'm off to try to get some sleep. Just took my emend. Have to get up at 0330 to be at the hospital by 0530. I hope I don't finally fall asleep at 3 or some ungodly hour. My stomach is a wreck (I think it knows!). Good luck to all my fellow sleevers tomorrow, I look forward to catching up with you all on the other side!!!!!

I was just sleeved yesterday morning at 7:15am & on Sunday evening I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. My doctor DID NOT tell me to, but I wanted to "cleaned out" it didnt kick in for 3 hours. Then it was just watery. Probably because the last two days I just had Protein drinks.

I could not sleep the two niggts before at all either. But for me, I've been one of the "lucky" ones. No major issues! I did have an reaction with my i.v. though. My arm swelled up in the needle spot the size of a tennis ball! I guess the vain was real small and it didn't get in The right spot. I did have gas pains, but only hurt when I TRIED to drink!!! My tummy is sore but that's been a cake walk for me! I have walked several times around the nurses station and that has helped a lot!!! One other thing I 've not heard on here is that it's hard to pee. I haven't drank but one&a half oz. Of beef broth and did it to fast & got sick. So the only oth fluids I've had jave beem through the I. V. I finally voided about an hour ago! I have NOT HAD BUYERS REMORSE yet. Praise God!!! On my 2 week pre-op diet that was low carbs , I lost a total of 13lbs!!!! Hope this helps calm your nerves. I will pray for you and the rest of the JUNE SLEEVERS!!! Stay blessed!

      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.
