Just had my surgery October 6th. Stayed overnight, home late afternoon on the 7th. Doing the Stage 2 liquid diet. I was offline for a bit and updating my info here now. Good thoughts sent out to all October 2020 surgery folks!

I had a lap band that had to be removed now I am getting a sleeve so I feel you! I think everyone goes thru the anxiety cause this is it your life is gonna change but it is gonna change for the good! don't dwell on thoughts of food.and what you are gonna eat after surgery. You can eat whatever you want and don't forget you aren't gonna think about food because you are hardly ever gonna feel hungry. If we don't get some anxiety, we wouldn't be normal. As soon as you get to that hospital tell a nurse if you are really jumpy and they give you a tranquilizer.Lay down now close your eyes and think of how great its gonna be when you hit your goal weight and don't forget how quickly that will happen.If you're a believer Pray. Anyway you're about to do the best thing you have ever done for yourself so dont rethink it I wish you all the best!!!

Had my surgery October 7th converted to bypass and hiatal hernia repair. Had someStill feeling pain and had some really rough nights. Last night was first night I slept through without any incidents. Turns out nurse in hospital told me wrong pills to crush and once I figured that out it made a huge difference. Loss of energy , sleeping a lot , walking a lot to move gas . Things are improving day by day. No issues with drinking Water or Protein Shakes.

      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.
