@@theotherfatgirl how do you feel!? You must be so excited!!!!

I got insurance approval Monday so the surgery is officially a go for June 23! I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet [muscle milk shakes all day errryday] and it's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I am always craving salty so I had some low-sodium broth yesterday for a snack but other than that it's been fine. I'm constantly full and haven't had bad cravings.

@@theotherfatgirl, my prayer is your recovery will be smooth a quick. I go in tomorrow and am SO nervous! Just keep thinking, in voluntarily signing up for pain, nausea and possibly vomiting for the next week or two. Gotta think positive, but man it's hard!

Wow, lots of new people getting sleeved this month. Good luck to all of you and wishing you fast recoveries.

This last Monday I had the cardiac clearance then Tuesday I had the psych eval, nutritionist and then the preop class. And to day I had the EGD. After I woke up from the EGD the first thing I asked the nurse was if I had a hernia and she said no. OMG!! I immediately started crying. I cried for about 5-10 minutes thinking what am I gonna do now? How can I afford to do this without the help of getting the hernia repair paid by insurance. Then the doctor walked by a couple of times and then he asked me is the anesthesia getting to you? I said no, the nurse told me I didn't have a hernia! He said, yes you do, you had a big one, here's the picture of it. The nurse had misunderstood what I had asked!! Thank God I had one!! lol

I started my pre op diet yesterday and will have surgery 06/24. It is starting to get very real now and I am so excited!!

Oh ok glad to hear that and thankx for the tips 5 more days im ready!!!! Howd U make out throughout the nite? Wit pain and that gas? @@theotherfatgirl

I've been pretty good don't get me wrong it's painful it is surgery but I wasn't in a lot. If you can tolerate the pain try not to get on the strong meds cause I kept telling them I was in pain and it's not bad so they never put in morphine they kept me on tylenol so being home they gave me tylenol making the transition easier. Some people go on morphine at the hospital and are like it's not terrible but than get home and are miserable. The gas pain is real but if you walk the minute you wake up it will start moving and be less intense. I still have it now but very small

      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.
