Tomorrow is the day! As of right this second, I am ready and I am not nervous. I hope I remain calm and not nervous. Worst thing is I don't have to be at the hospital until noon. I think I can handle the not eating till then, but not sure about the not drinking! Anyway - wish me luck and pray that all goes well for me. Thanks!

My surgery is tomorrow too! I have to be there at 8am. Have you done the two weeks liquid diet, and today Clear Liquids? I definitely understand, I would go crazy if I couldn't drink an You will probably add a couple hours to that once at the hospital? Good luck! This is such an exciting journey!

Good luck with surgery. I wasn't nervous when I went in for surgery either, but then again I was in denial!!!

I'm tomorrow, as well. But I have to be at the hospital at 6:30a so the no eating/drinking thing isn't going to be that difficult for me. I'm going to wake up, get dressed, throw my stuff in the van and head out.

Well I made it through the surgery and now wait to see when I can go home today . Initially the pain post-op was bad. It felt like someone was laying on my chest and kicked my side. After drugs and walking and a nap I started to feel better. I slept very little 2 to 4 hours at a time , hospitals are loud and bright! My throat was sore and my mouth was dry like the desert . I read the boards for support and review before and after pics to keep me inspired. I have a lot of weight to lose to reach goal and seeing that other sleevers have done it successfully makes me believe I can do it too, thank you!

Thank you for your well wishes. I wish you well today with your surgery . It will go fast once they get you in pre-op. Then you will wake up in recovery and hopefully you will get a room soon after that. Speak up if your in pain. Be ready for little sleep in the hospital, they are loud and bright. Bring lip balm with you, it will make you feel better since you will not be able to drink. I look forward to having ice chips and then broth if I pass my upper GI today. I never thought I would be happy about that! Good luck , stay calm and focus on your goals. Take care!

      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.
