Well tomorrow is the big day! My surgery is scheduled at 2pm - I have to be there at noon - I was hoping for an earlier surgery time so I didn't have to deal with NOTHING to drink all morning long! Today has been full of nerves and a little frustration due to not being able to eat anything - liquids only!

I know this is the best decision I'll make - but that doesn't help my mind freak out - I'm kinda expecting the worse and hoping for the best!!

Best of luck to you and a speedy recovery! I was a nervous wreck before mine, didn't help that I was in a foreign country either. It will be over before you know it and you will be on the road to losing!

Yea!!!! Me too! I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am...surgery at 7...said I was first patient. My nerves are shot and I'm scared but overall I'm excited!!???? had to do only 1 week liquids...I'm over it...just sat here while my family had pizza!! Needless to say, I have support to some degree, but I had to move back home for personal reasons. I guess no matter how old you are, your parents will always be your parents and their house, their rules!! Good luck, it's going to be fine!! Prayers for a speedy recovery, Dee

GOOD LUCK!!!! We will all be thinking of you. Our group of September sleevers!

I am one week away, well and 1 day.

September 9th.

I was just thinking about the day of surgery. How will I feel? Will I be first? Will I cry? I am so anxious.

Please, please keep us posted. Prayers with you!

Surgery went well! Only had to stay over 1 night, had a great experience overall. I'm a little sore but not as sore as I was with the sleeve. How is everything going?

My surgery went great! I stayed 1 night in the hospital and was in no pain! I had no nausea/pain - my surgery was at 2:30 - I was in my room by 4:30 and up walking by 7pm - I was honestly surprised! I had no issues - so far so good!! I'm home now on a clear liquid diet until Wednesday - then I go on full liquids which I'm super excited about it! The only thing I have noticed is I get tired easily - but I sip, walk, rest, and repeat! It's helped to have my husband home with me this week as well - My kiddos have also made sure I had everything I need!

      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.
