I would say more nervous than excited. I've never had surgery before. My main issues are knee and foot pain, which are manageable but I don't want them to get worse. So I expect my quality of life will get a little worse immediately after the surgery before it gets better. I was pretty bummed out about having to start the pre-op diet, but now I'm halfway through it and my mood is getting better. Plus it has helped me lose a couple more pounds. I guess I have been so focused on getting ready for surgery that I haven't spent as much time thinking about how great things could be a few months from now!

How about you?

I'm 1/2 through my preop & slipped up by eating taco salad & oh my God I'm sick haha. I'm nervous but I have had 5 major surgeries so I'm kinda like cool, come at me bro. Lmao

I'm just ready for a change. To be healthy & use this as a tool as it's meant. To spend a better quality of life with my son <3

That is my day too! First surgery as well so that freaks me out even more I think than the sleeve right now. The pre op is blah I think the only way I have been like 95% compliant and 100% these last days is because focused on Tuesday.

Made it through the first night. My surgery was at 4:00pm and I walked around the floor around 10pm. Some pain but it's manageable. Looking forward to having my family visit today. And drinking water... Best thing I brought to the hospital was ear plugs. How is everyone else doing?

      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.
