Hi guys my surgery is on Thursday may 19th. A day out. However my birthday is on the 23, sort of a 20th birthday present. I'm ready to get my body in shape the way it should and try to control my PCOS. I'm getting really nervous,

Any support, tips or tricks for the sleeve would be much appreciated and returned ❤️

You will do great.

The thing I think that helped me the most was to make a commitment to do everything my team asked me to do, even if I was afraid or thought I couldn't do it.

After surgery, the sooner you can get up and walk the better.

Sip, sip, sip: getting in all of your Protein and fluids is critical for healing and weight loss.

I also decided to only weigh at doctors appointments early out. Staying off the scale can save your sanity.

Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.

And, Happy Birthday!

Mine is May 20th, so I'm right behind you. I too have PCOS, which was the main deciding factor for getting this surgery.

Yes, I have 1 child, but had to do through fertility clinic for that. Praying that the weight will fix the problem for the future.

Sore. My stomach just feels empty. Every time I try to drink I feel a burp coming. Other that my abdominal area though I feel good. I went for a walk and to the bathroom.

Day 2 and I feel so much better. I can drink juice and broth again. Pain is manageable and slight weird feeling. I've walked around this floor a couple times now for 20 minutes each time.

      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.
