12 Days remaining October 7th sleevers! Who's excited, me lol! I know it's quite a few of us. Second day on pre-op diet (low-carb), it's going well for me. My husband is also participating with me on the diet :), he's a great support. How's everyone else doing on pre-op?

I just had to put in my leave absence from work today. It just got real. The surgery is exactly 7 days away. I cried a lot and had a slight panic attack. I pulled it together and wrote up ny advance directive and made sure my beneficiaries were up to date. There is so much to do.

@spelmanite10. I know your head is spinning right about now. I believe crying is very normal for some. Good job on getting things in order. However, I am choosing to believe that everything will work out just fine.

take a moment to just inhale slowly and exhale, breathe my friend breathe.

I asked for a day off for my preop class and upper gi and they didn't want to give me time off. Asked me to post pone if I could. They are not going to be happy when I tell them I will be out two weeks. This is why I can't tell them it's for weight loss.

Hello everyone, third day on pre-op. I've suffered with major headaches today I'm assuming it's due to my diet not really sure. I'm pressing forward, right now all I want to do is sleep for the next 11 days :(. October 7th sleevers 11 days remaining (first time I've smiled this afternoon :)). I'm hoping I feel a little better tomorrow. Hang in everyone, we can do this!

      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.
