My journey started May of this year. Surgery in the morning. A little anxious but so Excited!

Keep me in your prayers. I have researched here since March and this forum has been so helpful.

Many thanks to all of the sleeves that have taken time to share their experiences!

Excited. Anxious. My husband is sitting here still researching... he has tried to talk me out of it for 5 months. I think he's just scared of possible complications. I think he is more nervous than me.

I'll let you know how it is.

I'm thinking there will be no sleep tonight. We're a hour away and I check in at 5:30. Hibiclense shower tonight and in am. Planning on starting at 3. ????

Best of luck to you nothing to worry about I was sleeved almost 2 years ago and can tell you it was the best thing I could have done for myself. It has stopped me from gorging I go into a restaurant and can order a 6oz steak and still take half home were as before I look at the menu and think which is the largest steak that would fill me up. The pain is minimal the first week or two is uncomfortable. I will pray for you good luck again.

Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery! Mine is on Friday. I have to travel to TJ and I live in FL and am hoping this hurricane doesn't ruin my travel plans. The liquid diet effort is no joke.

Good luck! You're almost there. They took me into the OR put a sedative in my IV and a nanosecond later I was in recovery! You'll do great!

      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.
