Just as an added note for all the upcoming sleeves... Do not panic or get disappointed if you actually gain weight in the hospital. My Dr loaded me up with I'v Fluid to prevent dehydration. I actually gained a few pounds. Not to worry because the first day I took in only a few cups of ice chips surgery day and find it is difficult to get in my 64 oz of fluid today. So I'm glad he loaded me up which will give me time to adjust and get my liquids in without risking dehydration. Good luck to those who are coming up! You can do it!

@@Quest4TheNewMe, How is the pre-op diet going? It isn't so bad so far but this is just the first morning for me . . . .

@"RedDirtRoads" I actually don't start until tomorrow. I've been drinking Protein shakes for Breakfast for a while, so I'm hoping it isn't too terrible. I'm more worried about the Clear Liquids only on next Tuesday/Wednesday.

Have you survived the day so far?

For me the clear liquid preop was hands down the hardest. But you just need to stay focused on the goal. I'm home and on my own. My mornings are the worst with nausea however I realize this will pass it just takes time to adjust. Thank goodness the dr have me meds to help me cope. Again I must say it is the nausea that's getting me. Still no pain and being that I'm 3 days out I don't see pain being a problem moving forward. It has been difficult to get in my liquids today. Still adjusting. But I remain positive and focused. I can do this. With the support I see in this site I know I can. Look at all the examples before me. :)

So glad I found this site as it has been a wealth of information of what to expect and just knowing others are going through the same thing makes you feel normal too. Good luck to all the other sleevers this month and looking forward to hearing how everyone does.

Surgery Wednesday..11/12. I'm on my liquid phase of pre-op and feeling weak. Is this normal? I've tried to exercise but get dizzy. I'm hoping it's just because it's the 1st day of liquid only.

I'm on day #3 of the liquid diet and feeling tired/cold, but yesterday was the worst in regards to trying to stick to the rules.

My surgery is on the 13th.

Im on day 6 of 14 days.. And I am happy to announce that it gets better! The first 3-4 days of my pre-op diet, was crazy hardcore! I could barely get out of bed, and had a constant Migraine. But yesterday was really good in comparison. I was still really sleepy all day long, but no aches or pains! This morning im also waking up hopeful. So it does get better! Now weather or not it will stay better is a whole other question. :)post-200317-14155563173152_thumb.jpg

      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.
