I'm a few days before you, and strangely, not nervous at all. I was really nervous like 2 weeks ago, though, when I was about a month out. Nervous AND really wishing the surgery would happen faster. Now, however, I'm enjoying my remaining carefree week or 2.

Congrats to all of you on having your dates! It much be sooo exciting and nerverwrecking all at the same time! I'm still a few months away from being able to afford the surgery so I can't set a date yet but when I do it will be with Dr.Aceves 100%. Congrats again and I can't wait to hear how things go for all of u!!

I totally get it. Ernesto couldn't get me from the airport to the hospital fast enough. I waited over a year (a big learning for me, I'll never wait for something so important again). The night before I was scared so wrote my standard "just in case" letter to my family. The valium they give you certainly helped me. You'll love Dr. Aceves and his team. It's been about 7 weeks and I'm so happy with my sleeve. Congratulations!!!

      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.
