Thanks! I decided to call. He said it wasn't high enough to be concerned yet but I needed to take more deep breaths. Use that breathing thing from the hospital.

I've had the same problem for the past 2 days. May be a result of fluids from hospital.

Well mine is on 10-22-16, but don't know what time yet. I've managed to quit smoking cold turkey...I've been smoke free for 6 weeks now...so that's a positive. I also started my own pre-diet that is loosely based on the actual pre-op diet so that in a about a week when I begin the actual pre-op diet it won't be such a big change. After having both of my knees totally replaced last year, I'm not too worried about this process. I'm not nervous and actually a bit excited to be honest. Good luck and wishing all a pain free recovery with no complications and fantastic results with your progress on this journey.

I have mine on the same date too so nervous

I would say the pre-op diet went ok. Lol. My surgeon wasn't really concerned because my liver shrunk significantly between June and now as I lost about 15lbs. He was pleased with my ultrasound results. I have to be at the hospital at 5am tomorrow. I have a feeling I will not be getting any sleep.

Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?

Good time for a year 1 update!

1. Hit my goal (190) on March 3rd and been in between 183 and 192 since. Had my annual check up Wednesday and weighed in at 188.

2. ALL my blood work came in perfect, even my liver tests and glucose.

3. I exercise more than suggested - 70,000+ steps a week. My arthritis is mostly tamed and I even walk 18 holes of golf and carry my clubs!

4. I socialize more than I ever dreamed possible. If I see a bunch of unhealthy food coming my way, I have a beer, drink 1/3rd and dig in. Unhealthy food can't hurt you (much) if all you eat is 4-6 ounces.

The keys to my maintenance success are threefold:

1. Developing an arsenal of 100-200 calorie healthy "meals" that make up 90% of my diet. This pretty much enables me to eat carefree on the other 10%.

2. The exercise!

3. A great scale and fitness tracker to "keep me honest".

Without a doubt, the best thing I've ever done for myself!

Thanks for sharing @capecrooner and congrats! I was sleeved 10/5 and am facing another two weeks of liquids so it's really good to hear how things are going for you a year out. Do you mind if I ask what your weight was pre-op?

      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.
