I would be glad to answer any questions - if I know the answer, or just share my experience with you : ) I live south of Seattle. I met a gal thru work who had the sleeve surgery a year ago. She has gone from a size 22 to a 6/8. Just amazing!

Good Luck with your plans!

Darn, so close yet so far away. I live on the Oregon coast. I have a really good friend that lives in Seattle though. If I ever get up there to see her, I would love to get together with any of you!

Are you close to Amtrak? I take it to Portland all the time. It is actually a pleasant and scenic ride. I would even pick you up in Tacoma or Seattle, if you don't mind riding with me :lol0:. I really am nice in person. lol

I do think you are a nice person. The fact that I don't think I would have surgery with your doctor does not mean that I don't think you are a nice person. I would drive to portland to meet you. I am always looking for a reason to get out of town. My friends go to Portland all the time. I could ride with one of them. We love to go shopping in Portland.

      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.
