Hi Ladies! No date yet, but I'm on schedule and it should be approved for early September. Anxious. I have not been able to lose my "mandatory" weight. Its not even a lot. But, I went through the eat now before surgery urges. Yikes! Its been hard, but now in the mode to get it done. GOOD LUCK to all of us. It is our destiny to be healthier.

Hello! I am new here and officially began my sleeve journey today with my consult with my surgeon. I am living and working in Taipei, Taiwan so I am having my surgery done here (cheaper then in the US too). Looking at a late August or anytime in September surgery date (no red tape of 6 months proven failed attempts or classes here....National Health Care FTW!) :thumbup:

As this becomes a reality I do feel some nerves setting in that "are you sure you are ready for this" feeling but I know this is my only way to healthier and happier me!

Congrats on your dates! Right now, I'm trying to visualize me going in on surgery morning and being calm. I've heard that you should work out your lungs before surgery by blowing up small size balloons, once you blow them up, throw em away and keep doing this-a anestetheologist recommended that... So just to be safe, why not? Share what's going thru your minds at this time... We are not alone in this~:001_smile:

      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.
