I'm having my surgery the same day as you. I'm so glad to know that someone else is going through this the same day that I am. I'm having second thoughts but I'm going to push through this. Good luck!

Yes. I'm nervous though because I've been doing the pre-op shakes for two weeks and only lost 4 pounds. The dietician accused me of cheating. I really don't eat much and always tell people that yet I can't lose weight. I'm wondering if the surgery will really help me. How about you? Sleeve?

Accused you of cheating? Horrible! Everyone is different and processes differently. I am so sorry you had to hear that. I am down 8 pounds and on day 8 of a 10 day pre-surgical insane diet.

Just remember, as a great anesthesia told me right before i went down..."Don't worry....I have more drugs than you have nerves." ....priceless!

Getting tomorrow too. I feel nervous and just want to get to it. Worried more about pain and being able to get all my fluids and stuff like that than the surgery itself.

Hi Ladies,

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning too! Nerves are starting to come out. I'm just worried about drinking Water day 2. I'm gonna walk walk walk to get rid of the gas. For me, it's all the what ifs afterwards that's making me nervous as well. One day at a time.....that's what I keep saying to myself....

Hope all goes well for you all tomorrow! Cheers!

      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.
