I think i was mentally better prepared. It is not that bad. The key is keep ur self hydrated, walk walk and walk.

Pain will be there but that is what we are opting for. Its only 5 days for me but i am super excited about future.

Best of luck and always remember this something we want Desparately.

I’m with you guys with the crazy mix of emotions. I’m being sleeved on Thursday, June 28. I think I’m getting through the final days by keeping busy. I’m shopping for the house so I don’t need to do that when I get back (I have 4 boys plus a husband and man do they eat lol). I’m also shopping for the things I need like broth, sugar free juice, Protein Shakes, etc.

Prepare and keep busy. It will not only help you get through the surgery but it will also help you through this preop diet.

Good luck and a speedy recovery to us all!!!

The day after mine that's Awesome . I also brought everything that I could possibly need. I have so many Protein powders, Water, Jello, broth, etc. I have a son and get so much anxiety at the thought of not being with him for possibly two days (I have separation issues) lol. This is also my first time ever having surgery so that makes me super nervous but I am going in with positive thoughts and I know that this is the right decision. Thanks for taking the time to write me and yes good luck and speedy recovery to us all!!!!!!

      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.
