Rollergal, I am on day 3 of my two weeks of nothing but liquids and I am also gagging. Going to be a long two weeks. I'm hungry!

I made it through a lot of gross shakes. Haha. Surgery tomorrow morning for me. Looking forward to a nice nap and some good meds. I've had a bunch of surgeries before so not bothered about the process. Keep on gagging it's worth it in the end.

My surgery is 12/2. I was doing okay until my daughter started asking me not to do it. Now I'm feeling panicky. I'm doing this for me and now I feel like I'm being selfish. I'm excited too and looking forward to a healthier and happier self.

Why is she saying not to? Maybe have her read all the information as well. I'd imagine she is worried she will loose you. But your doing this so you can live longer, be healthy and happy!! You've got this you aren't being selfish!!!

I'm on December 8th and feeling both excited and scared. I start my Protein diet tomorrow so it's getting real...I'm having a sleeve but it follows a lap band removal. The lap band eroded and it was very traumatic. I'm hoping for a good experience with the sleeve.

My surgery is scheduled on 12/10. I am nervous and a little overwhelmed on what products I need to buy! I am also super excited because I have been overweight my entire life and I can't wait to be able to buy clothes from anywhere!

I know what you mean--a week away and it gets very real. Let's stay in touch and support each other. I'm in Kansas--what state are you in?

Had my surgery today. All went well, up and walking around with manageable pain. Quite a bit of nausea though which I wasn't expecting. Have dozed on and off though out the day. Ice chips are my new best friend. :)

      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.
