I am getting sleeved within a few more hours and the only thing I can hear are my coworkers talking about another coworker who had the surgery as well even though she has never admitted to it I hear. This now worries me. Why r people so mean. If they have notn good to say why not shut up. I know I will soon be the one who they will start to pick on. Smh. They rather she die bring overweight and then they say so many options out there why didn't she try to lose weight. U can't please this universe. Wow.....

I am tomorrow as well should b at the hospital by 6:30am

is it real hunger or head hunger. I thought we weren't suppose to be hungry...right???

I tried the crystal light too and it does make a diff. I am also calm one minute saying to my self I can do it then the next min I want to call and canx. So confused just being a day away.

my surgery is Wednesday too. I really don't know if I lost weight I look the same to me. I should b at the hospital by 6:30am. The earlier the better for me. Get it over with

my husband who is definitely not a doctor told me to do that. But wen u read some posts that says their liver didn't shrink I am afraid I won't be successful.

my pre op consists of 3 shakes and 2 100 calorie yogurt and fluids. Tell me if that's not starvation. Lol. I miss chewing. But hanging on. Telling myself a couple more days. Thnx

This is the only way I can vent, I hope u guys don't mind . I just wish Wednesday would come already. I am hungry... To be honest I am starting to have 2nd thoughts. Hunger pains driving me up the wall. Started reading a book but that don't help. Can't sleep cuz my 3 yr old is up so that doesn't work. OMG...Gosh. ...HELP!!!

Who really said the pre op diet gets easy. It does not. I am (crying) hungry. Omg my surgery is not until Wednesday morning. Wat can I do guys any response would help.

lol

I did not like the fage yogurt even though it has 18grams protein taste so bad but I read a few threads and have now bought the sugar free syrup and used some in it. Delisssshhhhh. Mmmmmm!!! Try it guys. 18 grams of protein can't beat that.

prayers r with u. Stay calm and all the best.

I know it's crazy seeing that my body us practically in starvation mode with 600 calories a day for 12 days. It's like since the pre op diet I have developed multiple personality disorder. When I drink the shake I am good for awhile them wen I get hungry snobisha comes out. I am so sorry for my 3 year old.

This diet is torture. Today is my day off and wat do I do I cook a pot of oxtail and rice and beans. Mmmmm!!! Is all I can say. I guess I will just sit and watch my husband and kids eat while I suck on my delicious protein shake. Lol:-(

I would 600. 3 shakes and two 100 cal yogurt. I could eat a live cow from head to hoof. For a big girl feeling off balance

if he hasn't seen u in awhile I would say not to tell him. If u feel like this could potentially be a budding relationship and u want to be honest u can, as long as he is supportive and not judgmental. I say go ahead.

With this pre op diet is anyone feeling really exhausted? I really don't have any energy and my tummy is grumbling it really hungry. Omg!! Wat am I going to do?

I too have the alpha thal it's anemic related. Look them up on the web. It is explained clearly.

funny enough I just learnt that as an adult.

no u r not. I was cold last night too. I told my husband the same thing cuz I have the alpha thal ( this anemia is related to sickle cell) I thought I was the only one. U r not alone

me 2????

me 2????

no it's not ur head. It wat we have accustomed to...eating... Now that we can't due to the pre op diet we seem to be losing it. Two days ago after just starting I felt like a cannibal, lol. I could eat any and everything. Now I just hanging in there trying to keep busy takes my mind off eating. But I know wat u mean

Just a thought. The American sleeve forum I thought was to educate, advise, encourage etc pre sleevers and post sleevers. Now this forum has since turned into a challenge forum. Some of us like myself haven't even been sleeved yet previously liked to read about post op experience and wat to expect. Now all I read about is challenges....Mayb there should b a forum entitled AA sleeve challenge for anyone who wants to join, hope no one is thin skin I am just saying.....

it nerve wrecking but try to stay calm and just pray b4 u go in. Will pray for u. Hang in there.
