Anyone like to talk? My surgery is in 4 short days...... Sleeve to RNY.....aaaaagggrrrrhhhhh.... itโ€™s going too fast and too slow at the same time. Nervous happy scared, nervous, did I say nervous? Would love to chat like by phone? Anyone who has gone through this or getting ready to? If so please InBox me and maybe we can pick a time and just talk. Family is wonderful and all, but they canโ€™t possibly understand how one needs to Psyc up to go in for this. But you all do. Anyhow, just in need of a buddy or two or ten :)

Iโ€™m having my sleeve surgery on August 28th, just a in few days . I started my liquid pre op diet yesterday and I was doing well until I got up this morning vomiting my brains out, so bad I wound up in the ER , they told me I was having caffeine withdrawal because I didnโ€™t wean myself. Has anyone experienced this? By the way Iโ€™m only having my Protein Shakes, Jello, ice pops , broth and Water. Can I have plain yogurt?

Never had @bubula but then again I donโ€™t do caffeine and only have 2 day pre op diet. 1. Mushie and 2. Liquid with bowl prep. These things are so different... go figure :/

all LL I can think is good thing you are withdrawing now and not cold turkey post surgery

Hi Chris - thank you hun I appreciate it. Surgery went well, Iโ€™m in recovery now. Shared room which sucks lol. The pain is not fun... they need to give me something other then morphine. (Morphine has never really did much for me anyhow). Hoping this subsides soon though

      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.
