Hello to all the new November sleevers and welcome!!! I'm also a November sleever surgery date was November 30' date='2012. This was by far the best thing to happen to me!!! I'm 11 months out and down 97 lbs and lost 15 inches off my waist alone!! Some days will be hard and there will be times when you have buyers remorse, but believe me it will pass when you see the weight melting off. Just wanted to wish you all good luck on your upcoming surgeries!!

Top pic is day after surgery, bottom pic is what I look like now. Pre-op 258.8 CW 161.4

Congratulations and thanks for your words. I have been very calm up until this point and now I am freaking out a bit. First about complications and second on buyers remorse, regret, and depression.

I am very nervous. I have never been operated on. I M scared of the unknown and what to expect for my recovery. What about you
I've had 2 back surgeries both this is in a total different area. Lol I'm starting to get nervous and about the week before I will probably try to back out, then m husband will say "woman what's your problem". I'll cry a little and make a million excuses, he'll hug me and say "get over it already" then ill call my little sissy and get my pep talk. I'm goofy like that. I am worried about the pre-op diet more than anything.

I'm nervous about the pre diet. I was told mine will not be liquid but I won't believe it until I meet with them on the 7th. My surgery is at 7:30 in morning so I am the first one for the day. I am excited about being first!

Today is my 2nd day of pre-op diet. So far its not that bad. And believe me I was going crazy over thinking how this was going to go. I am very hungry, its not so much head hunger rather than real deal hunger. I only have 3 Protein Drinks a day to drink and thats it. So imagine that! All of you who are going through it soon you will be fine. try not to over think it like I did, we only make it harder on ourselves. Remember the big prize!!! Im so ready for this part to be over and to get the ball rolling. :)

      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.
