My surgery is 12/20 also! I started my liquid diet Tuesday. So far I've been doing good but I've been trying to make sure I get 4oz of Protein ever hour and drinking Water in between. Good luck!

I was told to use Premier Protein. It's actually not bad if you drink it cold ????. My surgery is on the 20th and I'm going back and forth on going thru with it. I'm scared, I have seen a number of people fail with gastric bypass. I'm doing the sleeve and still feel like I don't know enough about it.

My Dr. has two weeks of low carb (less than 30 grams a day), and while I am not perfect at it, I have lost 6 pounds in 10 days. Then it is one day of Clear Liquids before surgery.

I am also cutting caffeine. I have tapered off and made it thru the worst of the days, but I am sure missing it-but not missing the 'addiction' of it.

Sleeve set for the 14th!

I felt the same. I started the 5th. My surgery is the 12th. I felt like this, this morning but actually now...I don't feel too bad. Before my stomach was burning, bad headaches. Etc.

PLEASE BELIEVE ME - I questioned that up until the time I was in the hospital, in my gown, and was given something to 'calm me down' before being wheeled to the OR.

I literally thought of leaving!

The rollercoaster of emotions was insane!

The liquid diet sucked because I was starving and watching everyone else around me able to eat. That messed with me a little.

I'm 4 days out and I could punch myself in the beak for thinking those things!!!

This is the BEST thing I've ever done and I'd absolutely recommend this surgery as well as do it ALL over again!!

Hang in there and baby step it!!!

Stay strong and get as much support and inspiration that you can!

You're going to be ok!!!!

How was the surgery? I'm scared of the pain of having 80% of my stomach removed. I have a child and am hoping to be able to take care of him within a few days after the surgery. I'm also afraid of failing. I've seen it happen so it's hard for me to want to tell people that in having this done.

I have actually started interviewing people who I knew who had both Gastric and Sleeve and they were all good with sharing with me the good, bad and ugly. But the one thing I asked after the interview was "Was it worth it?" and they all said YES! One even gained like 50lbs back a few years after her Gastric Bypass. But now she's taking the steps to lose it again by changing her daily lifestyle habits.

Check out the local support groups if u need to. I keep getting people telling me I'm not "that big"... but I know my struggles. You have to do what's right for you.

      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.
