I've been heavy most of my life!

I've tried so many things to lose weight but none worked out.

So I finally decided to have a surgery, I was going back-and-forth between Lapband and gastric sleeve but finally I decided to go along with the sleeve.

I'm not getting any younger will be 27 in April and I want to live my life in a healthy way.

My surgery is scheduled for March 31st (exactly 5 days from today) and I am both excited and nervous!!! :unsure: Looking for some encouragement during this time, anyone else doing the surgery on 31st of March?

Any advice from people who have already had the surgery?

Wish me luck :)

I'm also scheduled for March 31st, with pre op tomorrow. I'm super EXCITED! My husband just had his on March 6th and I was anxious and nervous and every other emotion you can think of, so I got that out of the way with him. My motto is the positivity breeds positivity. Think good thoughts and image yourself doing well postoperatively. Also, remember why you're doing this...a better quality of life! (For most ppl). Also, think of all the wonderful things you'll gain. I wish you a successful journey on your new path of life.

May the road rise to meet you!

My surgery is also March 31st. At this point I wish it would just come on. I'm so tired of thinking about it and worrying. 4 days and counting. Lol.

I'm also scared, but try to distract yourself with anything so that you wont think about it.

Hope all goes well with you :)

      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.
