My name is Karen and I'm schedule for a gastric sleeve tomorrow..... I'm feeling very nervous but I guess is normal thanks

Good luck Karen. I'm 5 days post first 2 days I thought what have I done? Not pain just still a bit nervous. But kept looking at my photos my daughter took of me (about 40) all angles. In my bra and pants YUK! ????Not a pretty sight but such motivation. Don't forget to take your photos the worst you can and loads of them. Now every days easier and so exciting not going to weigh though until my follow up appointment with my lovely surgeon here in UK.

I kept remember everyone's advice on here walk walk sip sip so 10.00pm 5 hours after surgery I was marching the corridors. Have to say so far this has been easier than my knee arthropsocy 7 weeks ago.

I hope I have helped your nervousness ! GODSPEED ❤️

      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.
