Finally getting over here. I'm tentatively scheduled for 1/25. My preop appt is on the 19th, so we'll know for sure what's what then.

A little about me? My name is Selena but all my friends call me Sen. The last time I weighed (last summer some time?) I was at 300 lbs. My surgeon wanted me to quit smoking for 3 months prior to surgery so I managed to do that on Halloween night. Yesterday was my last day of the patch. It's getting really hard for me to keep to the straight & narrow right now but I'll be damned if I screw it up when I'm in the home stretch. My surgeon is Dr Luis Reyes in South Texas.

I'm really excited and looking forward to it. I'm a bit nervous about things but I'm more excited than anything. Yesterday I ordered a whole ton of clothing catalogs to look at during dinner time LOL. Remind myself why I'm having what I'm having when he's having whatever he's getting to have for dinner.

How is everyone doing who has already been sleeved?

Hi!

Did you decide? I'm scheduled with Dr. Aceves on Jan 28 (being picked up 1/27) so we will definitely be at the hospital at the same time if you're on for 1/29!

Tami

Hi everyone, I am penciled in for Jan 29th but I'm currently trying to hurdle the money issue. Is this i worth the money and putting my family without any safety net and some debt. I got through the other emotions now i just have to come to terms with this. Any encouraging word or words of wisdom would be helpful.

      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.
