First I want to say happy surgery day to all the sleevers going in today! Good luck and here's to a safe outcome and recovery.

Mine happens tomorrow. Is this really happening? I feel like the rug is going to be pulled out any minute now. It still doesn't feel real. It probably won't till I'm in recovery lol. I'm struggling with hunger and what I should pack. This is my first surgery and im getting kind of nervous. Not just about the actual surgery but losing my friend food. My life changing in what feels like an instant. Anyone having surgery tomorrow? I know it's for the best but I just never thought It would effect me like this. Anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement? I feel like im going to miss something.

I'm leaving for the hospital in a few minutes. Don't think of it as losing your love of food, look at it as in making better choices. You will be great!! Wish you all the best for tomorrow.

@@Torriluv87 you will do great! Mine was quick too. No food funerals. Bam...two week diet and surgery. But I think it's been better that way. Cold turkey is usually the best way for me to quit something. I sitting in the waiting room now about to head in.

Hi guys!! So I got sleeved at about 8 am. I've been sleeping off and on most of the day - this is my first time looking at my phone. Not being hungry is the strangest feeling! The gas pain is tolerable - hasn't headed to my shoulder yet so it's all in my abdomen. For any ladies that have had babies - to me this feels like mild contractions that are just always there...ooh! Or bad period cramps. Thank you all for being my support I hope everyone else done today is feeling good and everyone yesterday. Everyone else: you guys got this! Our futures are limitless. Love to you all.

      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.
