Hello Everyone. I am new to this chat room. My surgery is March 9th and I am starting to feel super anxious. I am also on the two day “liquid” diet so there is that. I am trying to do everything I can think of to distract myself from Tuesday for now. Anyone else super close and anxious.

I am having the sleeve as well. I have had 3 other surgeries but nothing this major to have to stay overnight. I am super nervous. Trying to make a list of what to pack for hospital.

So far gastric sleeve is the best decision I’ve ever made. I was 340 on 1/28 as of today I’m sitting at 293. The weight loss in the first month or so especially is DRASTIC. First month is also the hardest there’s a lot of adapting to do accompanied by some frustration. It does get better I promise. broth, Jello, and even Water may irritate you for the first week or so (at least they did with me) but in time you’ll be fine don’t stress

      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.
