Hello Ladies' date=' congrats to all the newly sleeved, and the up and comers. My date was, Sep 4th 2012 in Texas......... My S.W was 359 my date of surg was 331 and today I'm 272 and feeling blessed. The lifestyle change was at first a lil rough, but after a few trial and errors, I found what works for me. So with that said l say.....keep your head up, stay prayed up, give the carbs up, and keep your cardio up.[/quote']

Thank you MiistaMunk!!! Looking forward to the Journey.

I think the approval depends on your insurance company. My paperwork was submitted on Monday and I received a call Monday night. But I did not check my messages til tuesday morning. I will be sleeved on November 6. I'm going to vote then head to the hospital. LOL

Good luck and God bless you through your journey!

      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.
