Well, friends, I originally posted here a while ago but then wound up not getting scheduled until the end of July.

The office calls me today to tell me there's a cancellation on June 26th, so I snatched it up and am now officially back to being a June sleever!

I have an appointment bright and early tomorrow to start right away on this pre-op diet! What a whirlwind!

I hope you're all doing well in the various stages of your journey!

Tomorrow is the big day for me. The nerves are definitely there. But glad the wait is almost over. I'm checking in at 9:30am. Oh my goodness. Is anyone else going in tomorrow?

I had my sleeve yesterday the 16th. I am home now, but between the anti nausea and the pain medication the really has my vision blurry. The doctor said it should clear up when the scoplamin patch comes off in a day or so. I have typos please forgive me. Between the interaction of the two and the pain med just wearing me out, I probably won't be on much until this clears up. Best to all!

Welcome to the other side all June sleevers! I got my sleeve on June 8th and feel great. My biggest surprise is how much swelling and bloat I have around my upper abdomen. It really impacts the scale but drinking lots of liquids and getting my Protein in with no problem,

I was sleeved this morning. Still in the hospital. I am not in a lot of pain but I push the morphine button regularly. If all goes well I should be discharged tomorrow. Best of luck.

      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.
