I have the same surgery date as well. So ready for the preop diet to be over with. The last two days are going to be the worst because it's all clear liquids!

Me too!! I'm trying not to think about it too much! I'm a band to sleever so I a good idea of what to expect in the first few weeks afterwards. It's a little tough but the good thing is that it will get better. The best part is that I know the sleeve will work for me. Had a tough time with the band for about 4 years. We can do this!!

Hi all - so how are you doing after surgery? Unfortunately mine was postponed due to death in my doctor's family. So, I'm going in this Friday, April 10. Anything tips or things that are different than you expected? How long dis you stay in the hospital?

      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.
