I am due to get sleeved on 21st October .. I live in Australia. I am excited about my journey to good health but so scared of the surgery!!!

Hi Missy, I live on the Central Coast NSW had my surgery done five days ago. Honestly I would have to say the surgery itself has been the easiest part, virtually no pain apart from those in my shoulders and under my ribs from the gas and they soon go if you get up and move around a bit. I started at 133.5 kg and am looking forward with fingers crossed for my first weigh in on Tuesday. I really am only a short step ahead of you but I am happy to answer any question I can, good luck with your op.

I was cleaning everything I could find Saturday to that Sunday. I made sure the fridge was stocked with plenty of things I need and my family as well! Best of luck and pray you have a painless recovery like I have had! I am just a little sore but moving around fine.

My surgery is scheduled 10/22. I am very nervous and finding that I am eating like food will disappear on 10/22. Any suggestions for me ya'll?

My surgery is scheduled for 10/22 also! As far as food goes, I made a food bucket list! lol Probably not very wise but I want to eat all my favorite foods before surgery! I start my liquid diet on 10/15 and I'm getting sooo nervous! Good Luck to you!

October 9th surgery, so 5 days out, and so far doing great I think. I only have one problem and that's a headache in middle of night, but I am thinking it's dehydration so I am trying to drink more during day. Is anyone else having trouble with getting in enough fluids during the day?

      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.
