How many times have I pondered this question? Well after a long time reviewing it watching the actual surgeries on line talking to others on this site. The Sleeve is the way to go for the long haul!!!! I am scheduled for sugery on 2/24/10 and I have started the pre-Op diet and so far doing well. I have been to the gym 6 days in a row and feel better than ever. My wife and I are getting up at 4:00 am having Decalf (Yuk) read our bibles for about a half hour or so and then head to the gym. Spend about 40-45 minutes doing cardio Tread mill or Eliptical, and some weights. Head home shower and I have to fix a shake for Breakfast while my wife who is fit, 5 miles a day type of person can eat anything. I can't wait to show her up some day.... Ha! Well anyway I have shakes for breakfast and lunch for these 2 weeks and at dinner eat lean and green type meals. The nutritionist told me to put a watch at the top of my plate and what ever is on my plate for dinner analyze it and devise a way to eat it in 1/2 hour. My normal mode is WOLF, so this is hard. Yesterday I left half a pork chop on the plate and I remember when 3 were normal, eating slowly really works. My plan is to keep a log of my journey weather anyone reads it or not it will keep me focused on the end game. Well time to go....

      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.
