I am now 1 week out from my surgery. On the day before my surgery I silently panicked over the fact that I was not only having surgery but over the major change that was about to happen in my life. I didn't share my panic with my husband or daughters. I pretty much just tried to keep myself together. On Monday, my surgery day, I woke up feeling excited about my new journey. I was not the least bit nervous or apprehensive. If you can, keep busy and surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Good luck!!! You will do great!!!

Hi :)

I agree... keep yourself busy, get things ready. That is what I have been doing.

Just woke up and have a few things left to do this morning. Then my husband and I will head over to the hospital... my surgery is at noon today!

I am a little nervous, but mostly it's an excited kind of nervous. I am definitely looking forward to the GOOD change that this is going to bring into my life.

You will do great! Hang in there and best wishes to you.

Hugs,

Shelley

@krazibabgirl. You just made my heart drop. Good luck!! You will do fine. I keep seeing in these forums and videos on YouTube, the first day is the worst because of the gas. It passes and you start feeling better. My Sleeve surgery is on December 2nd. I'll probably feel the same way you are feeling now

      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.
