I was born in Oklahoma! My dad went to OSU, but I grew up near Norman so I'm a Sooner fan. Good luck with your surgery!

Hi All,

Pretty new on here from Northern Canada! I'm scheduled for Dec 17th - like boysenbear I'll be in Mexico.

Anyone else nervous and excited? I feel like I've read almost everything I can, pre-op diet starts in a couple weeks. Trying to develop good habits now... more Protein, more Water, smaller portions. I feel like I'm over-preparing... anyone else?

I also fluctuate between excited and moments of nerves and occasionally thinking WTH am I doing? LOL I'm also preparing...choosing Protein drinks, eating smaller portions, having less appetite from increase in Protein, getting paperwork and affairs finished before heading to Mexico! Shopping for supplements, making Christmas shopping lists...stuff to keep me busy and my mind off it all. The last few days I will be trying to relax, last minute packing, and getting a mani/pedi.

I think it's wiser to be over-prepared than under... ;)

I just finished reading "The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve" written by the people who run this site. Tons of good information (The chapter on risks tried to scare the pants off me, too bad the pants caught on a roll and I pulled 'em back up after the next chapter on the benefits). I too have the days of thinking WTH am I doing! I go from days or weeks of being so excited for post-op to anxious about pre-op. My husband is super supportive and only wants the best health benefits out of this for me, though he will mourn the loss of 'the girls'. We see a lift surgery in the future. haha

@@boysenbear are you taking any food / protein stuff with you to Mexico? I'll be there for a week, staying at an all inclusive - hubby will be doing the eating and drinking for us both. I was thinking of taking some Jello, Protein powder that can mix with Water, maybe some powdered Soup broth in case I can't get what I need from the hotel...

      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.
