Hi, want to leave a quick note here. I have been reading the forum for sometime but finally joining in. I am just about 13 hours away from my sleeve surgery! I'm so excited but my poor 11year old is so scared. Brings me to tears that she has to worry so much.

I felt the same way 8 days ago, I was convinced I would not survive, hug you kid and assure her you will be ok, both of you get into that God(mahoma, buda,Adoni) will be looking over you, and visualize you getting out of surgery perfectly fine, from that point have no doubt, it's not something you can control anyway, but you can bring the best of energies to it and let it go!

The big day! so excited for you. You are doing this in part for your 11 year old. He/She will be so happy that you are healthy and a great roll model. You get to prolong your life and spend more of that time with your 11 year old.

Get ready for the amazing things on the other side of being sleeved.

Hope you recover well,

Jenn

I had my surgery last Wednesday 5/13 and going today 5/15. Feeling really good, all that really hurts is if i take to big of a sip of any of my liquids. no nausea but they put anti-nausea patch on before surgery. Excited for this journey!

Doing well I think, no nausea and not much pain with surgical sites. I do recommend if you're having surgery soon invest in sime silky or slippy PJ's it makrs it easier to turn in bed! I have been sipping on wwater and my Protein Shakes throughout the day and its still hard to get the recommend amount in. I still feel bloated from surgery, cant wait until that goes away. Hoping the up coming sleevers have a good experience as im having.

      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.
