I am so nervous thinking about my surgery. My date is Dec 17 in the late afternoon. Although I had the lapband, I am now doing the sleeve. I can remember the pain I was in. I soo hungry now. Only cause I know I am restricted from it. Tomorrow starts my clear liquid, and on Tuesday it's going be crucial, nothing to eat or drink and my surgery is scheduled for 3:45 in the pm hoy boy, just want right to be waking up in recovery.

No, just struggling with which surgery I was going to do..I was going todo the lap band, but I'm looking at the sleeve! What was wrong with your lap band?

Good luck........ I was sleeved on 11/20 and I thought it was going to be painful but honestly it wasn't, well at least to me it wasn't... Felt like a period... The only issue first couple of days was the gas pains...... I was burping every chance I could get.......

Divadee the lapband was fine at first lost 60 pounds and that was it. The standstill was crucial as well as the vomiting. I eventually gained it all back because I got tired of getting fills. I think it complicated my life more than help, especially not eating and your still gaining, because you can only eat the wrong thing. I had no problem keeping junk food down, and that's what I turned to. Go for the sleeve.

      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.
