ONLY FOUR DAYS! I'm flying to San Diego Monday morning and being sleeved by Dr Garcia Monday afternoon ~ weird! A week from today we'll be DONE! In fact, I'll be back home by this time next Thursday...

I've got a busy weekend, so hope to get 98% packed tomorrow, Friday. Got my passport & check hidden away in my purse, single bills for tips, baggy pants, Gas-X, what am I forgetting?

Where are you being sleeved? Luck & blessings to you!

(^.^)

Howdy! I am doing GOOD! The first couple of days was nauseous, the first week very sore, but after that I've been getting energy back and feeling fine, not super hungry at all. A little stomach upset occasionally, but nothing awful.

Most amazingly, I've lost 21 pounds! That just NEVER happens for me. And with the sleeve, I don't have to worry about dieting to lose it and then gaining it all back later!!!

Any other updates - how are YOU?

      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.
