YAY

Congratulations! I am on the 29th. I am so excited, but it seems so far away too.

I am new here, and I am glad I finally found a forum that is active and more specific to surgeries instead of general weight loss. I looked at the Obesity Help site but I simply cannot get used to the forum format they have: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/vsg/

My surgery is November 2nd, in Grand Rapids Michigan with Dr. Foote. He has done almost 400 sleeves so I believe I am in good hands!

I wish we could create a thread just for first week November, second week November so we are all at the same level and can cry on each others shoulders. From what I understand, just 1 or 2 weeks apart makes a word of difference in "symptoms"

Anyway, good luck to everyone!

I'm scheduled with Dr. Alvarez on November 26th and couldn't be more excited. I wish my work schedule would allow me to move it up a couple of weeks. Anyone else going to be there over Thanksgiving?

      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.
