Any April Sleevers?

[Carmen606 14]

Hello everyone I am brand new to the forum and I am having a gastric sleeve surgery TOMORROW! I am feeling good about getting the surgery over with but a touch apprehensive about how difficult "eating" is going to be afterwards......also my surgeon is not sending me home with any pain meds .....ZERO I will be spending 2 days in the hospital but after that he says tylenol is all I'm allowed because he wants me to feel if anything is going wrong and he says pain meds could tempt me to eat things I shouldn't while healing.....any words of advice or encouragement would be great

I'm scheduled April 3rd, I haven't started pre-op diet yet. I feel like I want to have that last hoorah of foods I will no longer have.

That's how I feel. I can't help it.

Well I found out today my surgery date is now 1 April instead of the 3rd. Even knowing this, I'm having problem wrapping my head about it.

I was originally scheduled for March 31, but it got pushed back to April 21st. I started this journey a year ago and can't believe it's flown by so fast.

Hi ChrysChry89

You can do it!! Stay focused and keep the end goal in mind. When I feel hungry I'll read success stories or look at before and after pictures for motivation.

My doctor has me on a one week diet consisting of 2 Protein shakes and 1 sensible meal with SF Jello, SF pudding or SF Popsicles as a snack. Today is my 6th day into the diet. It's rough at times. It seems that everywhere I look I see pictures of food or advertisements of food.< /p>

One week from today on Monday April 6th is when I go on a 48 hour all liquid diet before surgery.
