Tomorrow I start my pre-op diet and will be sleeved in Houston, Texas by Dr. Garth Davis on August 17th.

I'm looking for support from those already on the losers bench or someone to chat with who is at the same stage of this wonderful journey. I have great support from my family but think a sleeve buddy would be fun!

Thanks everyone!:confused1:

Dear LovinLife

I am at the very beginning stages of this journey. I just attended the information session with Dr Davis and am now waiting for my consultation and insurance company decision. I see that your surgery date is quickly approaching, I am sure your nerves are crazy at this point but how exciting that you have made it this far. When did you begin your process? Have you had good experiences with The Davis Clinic so far? Wishing you the best of luck and am anxious to hear more about your surgery, recovery, results and such. :w00t: Beverly

Dansha,

Good luck to you as well! I like that we have the same date! I've lost 10 pounds so far on the pre-op diet and I can't wait to lose more!

You all rock! This time is very exciting. Also somewhat frustrating. I struggled with my preop and wanted a burger and diet coke very much! Hang on and know that after you heal you really will be able to eat any food, just in smaller quantities. Our surgery is the only one that really allows that. Hang in there and know that there are lots of us here who are cheering for you!

I got sleeved on Monday, 8/9 in Dallas Tx.

So far so good.. no pain.. but I can't drink much.. I fear not being able to get in all the protein.. I go to have my pump removed tomorrow and will ask the Dr. what to do. Ask anything.. I don't know much since I am so new but will share what I know..

      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.
