Well in less than 24 hrs I will be in surgery. Today I'm doing my clear liquid diet and the bowel prep! Lovely! But soon it will be a distant memory. I seriously can't wait to have some Soup haha. I have been living on balance bars for months so I am going to welcome soup and mushy food. It's more options than I have given myself in the past few months. Once I am out of surgery and in my room tomorrow I am going to update everyone on how I feel a play by play of the experience so maybe it will help others who are waiting for their big day.

Good luck! Once I was in my room, I was "out of it". Having a conversation was too tiring. I couldn't imagine using the computer that whole week. But I hope you do update us all--I'm sure it will be helpful for all pre-ops!

Best of luck!

I was just at my PCP office today and I have been referred for a Gastric Sleeve surgical consultation. I am a single mom and I am scared, but, I know that God is with me and is going to take care of me.... I am excited to see the journey that I am embarking upon because I have always had a weight problem. I will let you know how it goes...

This prep day is draining mentally and physically from lack of food but I'm going to bed soon so I can sleep through the pain haha. Just can't wait for it to be over and feeling better.

      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.
