I think they call the first week the week of regret.

Just had all my pre-op visits, showing 15 lbs. weight loss already (on the liver-shrinking diet) and am as nervous as hell...

But ready to rock it. Let's go sleevers!!!

It's the 6th. I'm trying to stay really, really busy to keep my mind off of it. I've never been in a hospital - and have rarely visited. So all of my anxiety is about something unknown to me.

What thing are you looking forward to after you lose the weight? One of mine is shopping and not having to be limited to just the XXL size and that size has a very limited number in stock. Searching the shelves for the biggest size or looking for just the longest belts is what I want to leave in the past. What about you guys? ;)

I have been pretty physical most of my life but still overweight. I use to run races yet my knees were not cooperating. I am hoping that getting this weight off will help my knees and I will be able to run again.

Oh yes running is what I am looking forward to also. I use to run a lot I'm my past and now I really miss it. It can boost your energy levels and after I like the satisfying feeling. I have been running/walking as of late and it has helped in my pre op weight loss. I plan on hiking the Superior Trail in northern Minnesota next summer and that will take about three weeks. I am trying to keep all these thoughts in my mind as I go through the next month. I would like to run a 5K with all you someday. You never know. :rolleyes:

I got my appt: 7:30 am, the first surgery of the day. My whole team was excited for me - they said the probably means I can get out of the hospital after a single night stay. Yay!

Looking forward to? Running on the soccer field with my boys. Long bicycle rides (my wife and I have planned on an 80-mile ride for our 25th anniversary, which will be about 1 yr. after surgery). Clothes at a normal store instead of Casual Male XL. Sitting at a booth without squishing against the table. Knees and ankles not hurting.

Lots of hopes here!!!

      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.
