My surgery was 1/15 and getting in all my ounces and Water is tough! Some days it's easy other days I feel nauseous and don't want to drink a thing. I haven't felt hungry at all (ever) since surgery. However I have some serious cramping going on that kicks at the worst of times.

Thankfully the post-surgery soreness is gone now (for the most part).

Aw you had yours on my bday ☺️ are you not able to drink so much or simply not being able to sip it without the urge to gulp is the hard part?

Happy belated birthday!!! And gulping isn't the issue, it's remembering to drink the liquids and allowing myself enough time to complete the meal. Pre-op I was grab and go, and now I have to sit down and give myself time for things to go down. It's a weird concept.

Thanks so much ☺️ omg you sound like me I eat on the go which means most of the time my shirt is wearing my meal I'm always evening at work I forget to eat because I'm always on full blast and by the time I get home I'm exhausted and rather sleep than eat smh oh what a tangled web we weave lol

I also did the mani/pedi thing the day before my surgery 2 weeks ago. When I had my pre-op meeting at the hospital w/ nurse & anesthesiologist the afternoon before my procedure, they said no nail polish! They said polish interferes with an accurate HR monitor reading or oxygen saturation reading (can't remember)--the thingy they clip onto your finger. My compromise was to remove gel polish from one finger & one toe (sometimes they clip that thing onto a toe! Well, 2 weeks later & my mani/pedi still looks great...except for the one bare finger & toe, LOL!

I am hoping to be sleeved in February. I have done all my classes and steps, and see my doctor on Thursday. I am hoping at that appointment, I will be able to schedule my surgery consult. My fear at this point is that there will be more hoops. I am preparing myself, but I know I will be disappointed if there is more of a delay. I am nervous about the two weeks of liquids that my program requires pre-op, But I am trying to look at it like a very small sacrifice. I am self pay, so no insurance hold ups. Just ready to get this going!

I just got the call Tomorrow Tuesday Jan 26th at 11:30 I am to go to the hospital. Have been on 2 days of Clear Liquids. Had pictures taken today. This has been a long journey as I had been trying for many years to lose weight on my own and when I first saw the surgeon I had all ready lost 145 pounds. He put me on a 6 month supervised diet as was requested by my insurance. So from June until today I lost another 36 pounds. Now the remaining 162 will come off with the tool of having the sleeve.

Good luck sleeve sister. Wow you got a early surgery time, mine isn't until 12:30 today. The not being able to drink anything is really difficult as my throat is so dry it is hurting me. Hope we both have an easy surgery. Mine will be longer as the gallbladder is coming out and the surgeon may also have to take the umbilical hernia out if he can't work around it, in addition to getting the sleeve. Let us know how you are doing. I will be in for 1 night I hope and back into my bed Wednesday night.

      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.
