I'm so nervous about the surgery on April 11th I'm having bad dreams about it my mind playing tricks on me i know I'm doing the right thing for me cause i have hbp diabetes and sleep apnea my starting weight was 358 my weight now 336 liquid diet 12 days in so im losing weight just afraid of having surgery

I was nervous also. But i was sleeved on the 3rd. The first night, nauseau was horrid. After that its been smooth sailing. I started at 210 day of surgery today im 200 lbs. I feel pretty good and have stopped the narcotic pain meds. Im a diabetic and assumed it would be worse but u got this. One rough day for years of better health and happiness. Praying for u.

I'm sure you will sail right through with flying colors. 7 months out , now at 232 from HW 365+ , SW 319, and although it hasn't always been smooth sailing, my boat will still make it safe to shore.

Ohhhh I’m day 4 pre-op diet and booked in for April 18th. Yay

starting weight before pre-op was 138kg

GW ??? I don’t know! How do people decide this?

Good luck! My surgeon set a goal just inside the healthy BMI range for my height. I just seem to remember feeling great when my weight was in the 130 lb range so that is how I picked. I just wanted to be healthy and able to move around more freely. Good luck!

Clothes are laid out ready for Tuesday and to stay busy tomorrow I planned a fun day at the dentist LMAO.. Going to the dentist for a deep cleaning really should keep my mind off things for a long while:) Everyone in the house is ready I think... I have let them eat whatever as usual because it is me that needs to change and I am hoping that maybe once I can eat real food again they will come around. I have been around every food temptation and think I have handled it very well even with my 11 yr old son in the car with fries:) yummmm fries:) Good luck for everyone who has surgery tomorrow wishing you all the best.

      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.
