We LOVE coming into the city though! Coming in on Wed. to go to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular!

Hi my name is Damaris and i do plan on getting the sleeve done. I dont have a date yet because i was originally going to go with the lapband and then i found some info about the sleeve..., so i started the process or the lap band and went to orientation, but now next week i have the orientation with the sleeve coordinator and the following week with the surgeon......which will be march 31, 2011..... im hoping that after gathering all test my insurance approves quick......does anyone know how healthfirst works or how long they take....im hoping i can get my surgery done in may 2011....

      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.
