I'm so glad to see you all here!

I have 3 children and I'm trying to prepare everything for the 3 days I will be in the hospital and the rest of the week so I can rest.

I went to target today to get travel size hygiene products and gas X strips. I got a 7 day pill holder so that I won't forget to take anything this coming week.

I'm starting to get really nervous.

We got this ladies!!!!! It's our big day!!!! :) I am nervous, but not about the surgery, more concerned with how much pain I will be in. BUT, we can and will do this!!!!! The pain is only temporary. I have never been so ready for anything in my life.

Keep in touch, post how things went.

Best of luck and success to all of us!

Mine was also 4/20 I'm doing much better than I thought I would loving life

Lucky you! I also got sleeved the 20tg. It's been rough for me. Tuesday I had horrible nausea. Today I'm finally starting to feel better except for this horrible gas in my left shoulder. It's the worst pain of everything. And I'm struggling to get in my fluids. It gets better day by day, but hoping this shoulder pain goes away soon. So glad you are doing well! I'm ready to feel as great as you!

Hope all of my buddies are doing well. My physician is awesome, I went back to work last Tuesday and have worked 5 shifts with no problems, its amazing to think just 2.5 weeks ago I was 20lbs heavier.

I'm feeling good. I'm still on full liquids and having a hard time getting the 64oz in. Other than that, I'm getting my Vitamins in and some walking. I know I'm probably over dueing it but have been cleaning the house too. I'm down about 30lbs since pre op diet and have seen a change in my body. For the first time in over 30 years I am feeling good about myself. Glad everyone else is doing well, we got this!!!

I got to go to pureed foods today!!! I'm still a little bit sore. I'm only getting about 30oz of liquid in so that's my main focus. I have lost 30lbs since starting pre op liquid diet of that 20lbs from surgery. I'm actually very exhausted and hoping that now I can have more options of things to eat that will give me some energy.

      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.
