So I got approval for my sleeve. My surgery is January 19. Everything happened so quick. Any tips on what I will need for my hospital stay? any recommendations on what brands/things to buy for my liquid diet. Any advise is greatly appreciated. I have also recently quit smoking....I am using a vape with 0 nicotine liquid. I feel very overwhelmed...........

sinnombre,

there is a thread which covers this information. Way too much to type here. Just go to the forum home page and do some searching. Good luck to you and I will see you on the sleeved side.

I am the day after you! The big thing that I am doing is, making a list of all the things I want to get done before surgery. I am doing it the Notes APP on my phone, but you could carry around a little notebook or something. Every time I think of something that needs done I write it down, right then! I don't wait, because if I wait, I forget. Then I stress out about trying to remember what it was. I also took off the 3 days before we leave to make sure everything is ready. Plus I scheduled myself a hair appointment and a pedicure appointment. Just to get some relaxation in with all the stress.

I'm scheduled Jan 19 to get sleeved.

I'm scarred too. But hoping in God all will be good with you and me ????

I'm taking Premier Protein from Sam's Club. It's very hard once in awhile a slip and take a bite or two of something...but at least I don't eat everything like I was used to doing.

My surgery is going to done on Edinburg, Texas that's in Deep South Texas. God bless and I will be keeping an eye on your posts.

      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.
