I am 15th Feb :-) can’t wait. We should keep each other updated with progress. I would love to stay in touch with people having surgery on or near the same date. X

Sure thing! How are you doing on your pre-op diet?

Kick back and relax Darlin. Tomorrow is your big big day. Go to the hospital with peace in your [emoji173]. Climb upon that cart, lay back and relax. Anesthesia isn't that bad, it's so good anymore it's like a smooth nap. I've lived long enough I could tell you about the bad old drugs. Ether made you nauseated going to sleep. you usually woke up puking and felt like you'd had bad food poisoning and a headache too. Let your doctor do the magic, Bariatric surgeons do it often, they do it well and it's not their first rodeo. They want a successful outcome just as much as you do. When you wake up you may feel a little sore, but on the other hand you may not. One of my own friends told me it wasn't even as bad as the time her 5 year old head-butted her in the belly. Get up and walk as soon as you're able, you'll hurt less and it will,be rid of the gas in your belly sooner. Try to get fluids in, take small slow sips. Be good to yourself and you'll end up just fine. I'll be praying for you tomorrow. Let us know how things are going, you are important to us. God Bless.

Anyone having their sleeves being done on Feb.14,2018? Are you nervous? I'm guessing I would have to start my 14-day pre-op diet at the end of the month on the 31st? I also have about 3 pre-op appointments to go to... I'm thinking about taking 11 days off.. Would that be enough or too many days off?.. hmmm...


I'm 2/13, good luck!

      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.
