THANKS FOR ALL DA INFO AND YOUR INSIGHT ON THE SITUATION...ITS SUCH A HARD DECISION...THE REASON I AM CONSIDERING THE SLEEVE IS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY VARIOUS DOCTORS THAT THE LAP BAND WOULD NOT BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR SOMEONE WOULD A BMI AS HIGH AS MINES...AND AS FAR AS THE DANGERS I WOULD BE AT MORE RISK WITH ME BRING THIS SIZE WITH THE LAP BAND...SO EITHER WAY THE RISKS ARE EVEN FOR ME...I AM STILL SO CONFUSED...I GO TO A SLEEVE SEMINAR ON MONDAY...I WILL BE MAKING MY DECISION AFTER THAT I HOPE, AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH....

My BMI was 55 at my first consult. I thought my Dr would make me do a 3 week liquid diet before surgery but I only had to do a 2 week... and I lost 22 lbs in those 2 weeks.... Maybe your Dr. does something similar?

      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.
