Hi everyone!

I recently got my surgery date of Dec. 8, 2015! I am very excited but also really nervous. Decided to join this forum for support. Any advice or tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

always room for one more

your first post too!!

been scientifically proven December 8th, 2015 is the best day to be sleeved ;)

many of us have experienced emotions, reactions to surgery

most of have been there, done that

your feelings might change day to day

or hour to hour!!

ask us any/all the questions you can think of

we will give you comments, answer, suggestions, personal experience too

you will probably see questions on "Recent Topics" and "Trending Topics"

that have similar questions to yours

end of the day only listen to your doc/NUT (nutritionist) or me of course :D

good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

      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.
