Nyone else feel like they are obsessed with this surgery, web site, and anything in between when they're on the two week pre op diet? I'm constantly online looking up research and reading everyone's posts on here. Today is day three of my two week liquid only diet.

It will get much worse before it gets better..As you go and get the surgery you will find that there are so many other issues that come up, so many uncertainties that you will be asking ?'s left and right...

You will also realize that no matter how prepared you are there will be a lot of unknowns for you. Also there will be things you think and say and feel that you never thought possible.

You will get nervous and anxious and happy and sad and every emotion known to mankind....

This forum will help you along with the issues that your head causes and will cause you....There is someone on here that has felt what you feel, done what you've done and found her/his way past it...You are not alone here....

So keep up the research and the forum....it will really help you along the way...K

I was the exact same way...couldn't get enough information!

Today makes 7 mos. post-op...95 lbs. down and lovin' life!

I guess I was fortunate...zero issues/complications. I was fanatical about following doc's orders, however still visited this site daily for post-op info/advice.

Before you know it, the surgery will be behind you and you'll be having the time of your life!

Good luck!

Wow you've really done well! Congrats! I'm just worried also cause I have the lap band and having a revision next Friday. I had a good amount of success with the band till it slipped and I don't want to fail with the sleeve. They say revisions don't loose as much weight as virgin sleevers. So I'm praying it will work for me.

      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.
