I have my 1st consult jan9 wgere the doc will explain the options, im scared but i know i need it, i have severe sleep apnea and driving after work is a risk every night for me. I need help

Just to encourage you, I started about your weight with moderate-severe sleep apnea. I was able to discontinue my cpap about 3 months ago (15 months post-op) and I feel great! It's the best feeling, sleeping without that damned thing AND waking up rested.

I chose the sleeve for multiple reasons... mainly because it’s basically helping with Portion Control which is a problem I fought before I had surgery. Mainly because the RNY requires Vitamins to be taken everyday for the rest of your life and there are a lot of long term health risks associated with it.

But with every surgery there are potential complications and your surgeon will go over it with you before they proceed. I’ve never had a problem with GERD Or acid reflux so I was a good candidate for the sleeve. My sister in law got the RNY and she’s had dumping multiple times this past year. She says it’s the worst feeling ever.

      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.
