Getting Sleeved on Monday, October 21th!

Who's getting sleeved that day?!

I started out at 268 for my highest weight. Then 265.5 right before I started my preop diet. Now with a day and a half to go I'm 249.5

Thank you Beach Lover!

Oct21, my doc said I will probably be off 1 to 3 weeks, all depends on pain level. Hoping all goes well and will be back to work after 2 weeks. Wishing you the best for Monday and will look forward to checking in with you after surgery is over.

Everything went fine for me. I got to my room around 1pm. I'm walking the halls and just waiting till tomorrow when I can get my first sips of Water. In the mean time my mouth is as dry as a desert.

      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.
