I am trying to do this without cheating-it's a challenge, I'll be honest! I just keep telling myself it's only "x" more days...I know it's going to make the surgery easier for me & Dr. too so that helps...but the worst is being around the family when they eat ....I know I can do this, just need to convince my brain and stomach!!

Mine is Dec 14. I haven't been super excited or worried. Anyone else like that?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes! I am going to get sleeved on the 16th. It doesn't seem really REAL yet. Im not overly anything about it. I hope it changes. I want to be excited and happy!

My sleeve is scheduled for the 21st, like several others. I was wondering how other 21sters are holding up with the preop diet. Today was my first day.

I know different surgeons use different diets, but the one I am following calls for three Protein shakes a day (30g protein/1g sugar) and unlimited broth and Crystal Light type drinks, and Decaf teas. I do have a cup of coffee in the morning with a splash of vanilla Protein shake and Splenda.

I followed it to a T today, but it was hard when I made dinner for my husband. I went in the other room and drank some ginger miso broth from Trader Joe's while he ate.

I had my sleeve yesterday, along with hiatal hernia repair. Going home this afternoon. I have..NO...pain from surgery. What I do have is a back full of arthritis that was killing me immeriatly after surgery (probably from lying flat which I can't normally do) so I have spent my hosputal time in the reclinder instead. Much better. Just taking Tylenol because my doctor insists. No nausea yet. No anything, really.

      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.
