Hello I am having sleeve surgery on 5/23. Since its after midnight here I am 2 weeks away ahhh. Lol it's nerve wracking and exciting. This is my first surgery ever so I'm trying to keep my nerves down but I am starting 2 week liquid diet today. My doctor let's me have a small meal a day with it so not too bad. Anyway good luck to you as well and I'm excited to share our successes on here. It's a very emotional journey for sure and we all can support each other here. :-)

Great to hear from you both! I've been an O.R. nurse for 25+ years; not sure if I'm more nervous or less because of that fact, lol! Anyway, if anyone has any questions about being a surgical patient, ask away! Looking forward to checking in with you both as we move through this journey. :)

I'm also a nurse, mental health for me.

Doctors key into disease, Nurses key into health and improving lives, Can you detect a little bias here?

      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.
