Surgery in 2 days. I seem to be all of a sudden noticing every food commercial now. Funny how my head starts thinking of reasons to quit and go eat an entire pizza. Battle of sheer will today.

I've been having the most random cravings. Like I want ONE ravioli.

Surgery is tmw! I'm going strong but oh good lord. The other day, I wanted a single sour cream and onion ripple chip. I thought I that if I could have just one I would be satisfied and move on. I did NOT eat a single solitary chip but it took great willpower.

Funny thing? I don't even LIKE sour cream and onion chips. I just wanted to "make sure." Ha.

I'm so scared about tomorrow! But I also can't wait.

Stay the course guys! We are all so close

My surgery is March 16, 2015! Coming up quickly.

I'd love to be in a supportive posting group with other March sleeve-to-be's!

I'm going to my internist for my final medical clearance this afternoon. I already had my pre-op testing last week.

I have a band that is going to be taken out at the same time that the sleeve procedure will be done. The band gave me complications after 3 years of success. I'm super excited to be sleeved so soon and have the band be-gone!

Best to all of you on your pre-op journeys and with your post-op success!

Had my surgery this morning at 7:30. I was out and in my room by 11:30am.

Chest is a little tight from the anesthesia, but I'm doing that breathing thing they make you. I was just a little nauseated and the nurse gave me something for that,

Was able to get up and use the bathroom. Got a look at my incisions and they are small. Very pleased with that.

I'm feeling pretty good overall. Tired, but that's to be expected.

WE CAN DO IT.

My surgeon just stopped in and he thinks I can go home tomorrow.

I'm definitely planning on walking around in a little while. It's shift change right now so it's a little chaotic out there. :)

      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.
