Hey Sleevers......

Am new here too, and in the process of getting in with Dr Aceves.......VegasAngel...you have been soooooo helpful to me in reading your posts. They are recent and help me to look forward to getting things going. I am still working on logistics, so am cautiously optimistic I will be sleeved in the next few weeks. Thanks for the info about the heating pad, I would never have thought about that. And the Puffs? You mean like any kind of tissues, right? Any info is so helpful. Thanks

Glad I've been helpful to you -- any questions, just ask away. And yes, I only use Puffs Plus, but any tissues -- they don't have them at the hospital and I found the toilet tissue to be too rough on my nose. I also took babywipes to wipe after urinating as I tend to have a reaction to tissues that have any perfumes in them -- I don't think the one used at the hospital did; however, I am always careful.

Good luck on getting your surgery date - you'll be thrilled with your choice of Dr. Aceves.

      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.
