Congratulations -- Dr. Aceves is AWESOME! Had my surgery on June 12 and DF is having his tomorrow - 7/11

Btw, what does "DF" stand for? I know your fiance is the Bearded Italian, but I can't for the life of me figure out "DF". :biggrin0:

Just checking in to see if a name was decided on yet.

I got my pre-op date (finally), July 28th. I should know that date what my surgery date will be but it is almost for sure in August.

I am excited but having a little cold feet now. Am I doing the right thing? How do I know? Those kind of thoughts. I am sure all those who actually have their date feel the same way.

Hi KMB,

I'm having my sleeve on Aug 18th by Dr Solomon from the South Bay Surgeon group. Who is your doctor? It's hard to find someone who even does the surgery, it's so new comparatively speaking. but I really feel comfortable with my decision to go with the sleeve. I hope I am right.....

I can't wait tosee how we do....! good luck!!!

Ok I am a real August sleever. Not too many of us that post it seems.

August 26th!

Yeah! Congrats on your date. We August folks have been pretty quiet lately. For me, I think its the pre-op diet. Too tired to type. Only 5 days to go, on the downhill side, so I am getting back some energy.:thumbup:

We aren't heading back down until October - that will be 3 months for Bearded and 3 months from when I had my last GI.

      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.
