Good Luck to you! Mine is on Monday. I am still scared to death but recognize that the decision to add a "tool" to my battle with fat and diabetes is a great opportunity, especially considering my advanced age to go under anesthesia for 3-4 hours at age 64.5.

I hope all goes well for you.

Good luck to both of you, the sleeve should only last about 1 hour long so you have less anesthesia time to worry about.

Lexie, break a leg!

Ladies in your sixties, I'm 68 and was sleeved 5 weeks ago. I can't tell that my recovery has been any different or harder than for younger WLS patients. So chances are there's no age disadvantage to this dealio.

They are checking me out of the hospital as I write this. I'll say more once I get a little more energy. I certainly do not feel like doing the waltz or going on a shopping spree but I don't fee wretched. And I never once said or thought that I made the wrong choice. This is just the hard part. Now I just need to follow instructions and I will be fierce!

      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.
