Good luck. There's nothing scary about having your stomach removed, once surgery is over you won't even know it's gone until you realize you can only eat smaller normal size portions. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself. You're probably stressed and anxious now, all of that will pass. You'll be just fine. Good luck to you and your success!!

Well I have a surgery date of 2/27/17 but I just had an irregular EKG where Im having an abnormal heart beat. I havent noticed it at all, but they say its there. So I have to see a cardiologist on Monday. I hope this is not another hurdle I have to jump on my journey to try and be healthy...

Greetings from Asbury! just read through this thread, your story sounds a lot like mine. I backed out on my original date too (from home, not in he operating room, lol) but am back on track and scheduled for this Tuesday. I'm sure you'll be fine at the cardio- I had a similar issue but the doc said it was fine and the surgery would be the best thing I can do for my heart.

I will be waiting to here how things go Jersey. Please keep us posted. 1 year this month I had the sleeve done. I've lost 100 lbs passed my goal and feel better then I have in years. Jogging every day 4 miles, drink Water, eat Protein and fresh veggies, take my Vitamins and knowing I will keep it off. Feeling healthy is the BEST part, and feeling in control. Got rid of all fat clothes because a healthy ME is my top priority now. Good Luck I pray all works out for you and you can start this amazing journey.
Your Oklahoma support pal!!!

      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.
