I'm in Erie PA. Not at all nervous. I am a post op nurse so I'm in the surgical world all day. Just anxious for tomorrow to get done so I can get in there. Feels like I've been waiting forever!

I'm a terrible patient. I'm always up wandering and trying to go home early. I do listen to instructions but am never pleased to be confined.

Question I keep getting asked. . . ."Why are you doing bypass and not the sleeve?" I'd love to hear everyone else's answers. . .

I didn't go with the sleeve because it's too new and there's not enough data to back it up. Plus with the sleeve u can still eat basically whatever u want and I don't want that temptation. Not that I want the dumping but if it will keep me from eating bad stuff then so be it!! It's been around for a long time and my gut said to go that way and my surgeon confirmed it so that's what I'm stickin with. I should probably do more research but I'm overwhelmed as it is!!!!

      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.
