congrats to all of the September sleevers. My sleeve was done September 1st and all is well. I read a post that said they splurged this past weekend with there husband and only need to do a clear liquid diet a couple of days before her surgery. I thought that too, but when I did my research I discovered that it should really be two weeks on Clear Liquids diet. But that time period had pasted for me, so I did a clear liquid diet the week before surgery. I have a girl friend and she and I went through this journey together. She only did the clear liquid for two-days before her surgery and her liver was much larger than mine and her surgery was longer because of it. I would suggest at least do the clear liquid for one week before the surgery. Just my two cents...... Good luck to ALL....

liquid diet day one! It's not so bad but I just feel disconnected. My thoughts aren't very clear. Maybe I'm just tired. Is it the 22nd yet?

And God, if you're listening, could you make sure I don't like sugar anymore. ..thanks! ;-)

I was sleeved September 1st and oddly I felt no pain from the surgery. However I had the worst acid reflux and one of my incisions opened today which was scary.

Sorry to learn that. Wow! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

      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.
