April you are phenomenal. I'm really excited for you. We were to be sleeved around the same time and alas it was not in the cards for you in 2012. This is your year, baby! I'm just really excited for you to get mobility back and to face your fears and come through in all the glory that is you.

I love your humor. Sometimes I think we have the same gene pool. Lol.

Be well. Breathe.

Hey super fab. I too have some of these same feelings. My biggest fears are not waking up and getting dehydrated and blood clots. But I know without a shadow of doubt that we have all made a great decision for ourselves to be healthy

Good luck to everyone going in tomorrow. I too go in at 5am. Surgery time is 7:30

Yup! But it's finally happening and I'm just a bundle of nerves. Thank you so much for the compliments and support, it really means a lot to me. It's definitely been a long time coming but it's finally time!!!!

Being nervous before surgery is totally normal. If you didnt feel those concerns then it may be time to worry.

Wishing you the vey best surgery and recovery!

Maybe you should do a puréed stage? I have 3 weeks of puréed food to prepare my tummy for soft foods

      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.
