Hi Leanne, I’m in Kent. I have got my surgery 11th January. Giving myself plenty of time to absorb what I’m about to do to myself. It’s certainly a roller coaster of emotions and I worry about how I will deal with not being able to eat and drink after, but then that’s why I am here in the first place. So it’s about trying to balance the positives with the negatives. I’m not worried about having the surgery at all -it’s just the after and the total change of lifestyle that I’m going to have to let go of! Anybody else had or have the same feelings? How do i get through this bit?

So glad I found this forum. I can now sound off a bit and speak to likeminded people.

Hi. Thanks for replying! At last - someone I can talk to! I’m having the gastric sleeve on 11th January. I’m currently about 230 pounds. Had enough of being depressed about weight and not being able to stick to a diet. I’m 55 and want to change my life forever! How about 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.
