Ditto on the feelings of craziness! I also have been very successful for short periods of time on various diets and food plans over many years. Having surgery is a permanent, long term solution for me. WE CAN DO THIS!

My date is March 2--just two days. My doctor is Dr. Weaver in Memphis and she is an angel! I have been on the liver shrink diet since February 16 and have lost 17 lbs in 12 days. A little antsy but more excited for the change that is about to take place in my life!!! Good luck to all Marchers!!!

You are welcome, Cindy! We have a TON of March sleevers! It really is encouraging to see a list of so many others who are getting sleeved with us in March! YAY! I don't know anyone IRL who is sleeved, so all of y'all are my only source of info and support! I hope that everyone will keep on sharing after we're sleeved! I'm so nervous about the "after"!!! LOL!

Wow, I am so happy to have found this topic to see how many other people are having the sleeve in March. I am March 22nd with Dr Michael Perez in Fort Lauderdale at Holy Cross Hospital. I am already following my pre-op diet to get a head start on weight loss as I want to be around 250 on my surgery day. My diet is 3 Protein shakes and 3 really small meals consisting of mainly Protein. I love my surgeon! He is so caring and really loves helping overweight people even though he is supertrim and very handsome! Please keep up this March Sleevers club with lots of updates to keep us all on track. Can't wait for my surgery day!

Make that date March 15th...got moved up a week and am the first pt of the day! Also, already had my pre-op, my pcp visit for clearance, ekg, chest xray. Only have labs to go and pre-register at the hospital. It's going to go so fast now...will be here before I know it.

Have a blessed day everyone!

      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.
