My sleeve is scheduled for 12/4, I am on the pre-op diet now. I am semi-secret as well, only my immediate family, boyfriend and one friend know. It is hard to keep secret, particularly since co-workers are very nosy!

It is very hard to keep it a secret . Everyone at my job thinks I’m going on vacation for two weeks. I have only told my boyfriend and my sister about my surgery. No one else knows.

Yes! 2 days after I get back from finals. But that will give me a full month recovery! I’ve only told my roommates because they’re crazy observant, parents, my best friend & boyfriend! Other than that I’m keeping it to myself.

What made you keep your surgery a secret?

I am taking full 6 week leave-figured I would take advantage of the time and really focus on myself (not something I have opportunity to do with my job regularly). I just told work that I have a medical concern I need to deal with. So far no one has pushed and our leave approvals are handled by 3rd party. Mom and sister work in the OR at hospital where I am having it so could not avoid telling them.

Hardest part is dodging questions from extended family at thanksgiving and Christmas on what I am eating (or not eating).

      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.
