Well my time has finally come. I am to be at the hospital at 6:30 scheduled for surgery @ 8:30. They said I would be 2nd to go back. Very very nervous. Just praying that I'm making the right decision. I think my biggest fear is pain and worried about me being down not able to help hubby & kids. My 15 yr old is going to the hospital with me and hubby will be there soon afterwards, as he has to work tonight. Crossing my fingers he doesn't get a call before shift is over. Good luck to all the other sleeves that are scheduled for this week too.

My surgery went well. I had pain immediatly afterwards, but the morphine helped. I had two bouts of nausea. I passed the leak test and am trying out ice chips and then broth. So far so good!

      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.
