They told me I could have my surgery on Thursday and go back to work Monday, but I took a week off to make sure I felt ok. I did go into work for 6 hours Tuesday following Thursday surgery. If you can take the time, I would.

I am having mine done in Sayre, PA. I have not seen very many people on here that are from this area. Best of luck to you and I hope to hear about your progress.

well today is my second day on my pre-op liquid diet. it's not going too bad, I'm drinking and I'm really not hungry but I'm missing eating. I'm craving to chew. I picked up some sugar free ice pops today, that did help.

thank you. Do you or anyone else know about how long the recovery time is out of work?

Hey! State College PA here, your date is coming up how exciting! Work depends a lot on what you do and your doctor recommends ..some go back within a week others need more time..I will be taking about 3 weeks off...good luck..also if you search there are a few threads going around for PA sleevers!

      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.
