The night before felt like the night before the first day of school mixed with the stress of having to wake up early to catch a flight!

Just try to relax and go for it! I'm a week out and no regrets thus far. Happy healings!

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm excited for a new beginning, but nervous for the surgery. I think it has to do with those that support it and family members that do not.

Well tune any unsupporting people out.

What matters most is that you support you. It's up to you ultimately. You're doing something really good for yourself and not for anyone else.

That's what I realized myself although I'm grateful I have my whole immediate fam on board anyway. It felt so good to do this for me knowing it's a big leap of faith in the right direction.

I had my surgery last Thursday. This is normal. But you will be so happy once it's done and you start seeing results. I woke up later that day after my surgery thinking if mad the worse mistake. Why did I do this? I promise this will pass and you will do amazing. Congratulations on making this decision for a new life journey!

I'm on EST, so it's 4:30am here and I have to be at the hospital at 12:30 today. I feel the same way. I can't sleep. What couple of hours that I did get in, I was having crazy dreams. Good Luck to you and speedy recovery.

Good luck to you too! And I guess if you're not sleeping now you definitely will be later today/ or at least you'll be knocked out.

I'm a few days post op and can't sleep myself cause I'm caught up reading about sleeve related things!

You won't be able to please everyone all the time, just do you. Some people think Bariatric surgery is the "easy way out" & that all we have to do is diet & exercise not understanding it's not that simple for some. So say your prayers to whatever or whomever you believe in & step forward to a new healthier happier you! They will come around when they see the change in your demeanor.

      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.
