In less than 48 hours, I'll have gone under the trocar, as it were.

So excited and nervous and looking forward to never having Jell-O again as long as I live.

Today's the day!!!! Four hours until my sleeve surgery. I didn't sleep worth a hoot. Awake every hour, but I think that's probably expected. Developed laryngitis since Sunday night. Nurse said it won't be a problem. Praying my doctor is of the same thinking. My throat is already sore. The breathing tube will probably add to that soreness.

Question: Did everyone have someone with them after they returned from the hospital? Is it a necessity?

Good luck!! I'll say a prayer for you. The breathing tube will make it worse, but only for a couple days. It's not too bad once you can start sipping on Water. And yes, I'm married and so my husband was home with me. My mom stayed too to help. You don't HAVE to have someone, but it's best if you can because if you're too sore to get up and get things, they're there for you. Although you definitely need to get up and walk! :) and you also shouldn't bend over. So if you drop something, they can get it for you. But if you'll be alone, I'll sure you'll do great! Keep us updated :)

I had by bestie with me for one day and have been on my own since. Better if you do as much for yourself as possible (other than lifting). And walk walk walk... it really makes a difference.

      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.
