Hello everyone I would like to thank the group for helping me with my decision to do the sleeve. I am not a big writer so I never really signed up just followed everyone on their journey from a distance and I am so excited with the out come of you guys!!

I decided to do the surgery in Tijuana with dr betancourt and scheduled an app to talk about the sleeve and he scheduled me for this Friday the 13th!!! Good thing I am not superstitious!!

I like many of you am scared and then excited. I am having some issues with saying goodbye to my good friend food. I am programing a goodbye to ribs and sushi and cake and Carmel corn is this normal? I have to do 3 days diet pre.

This all happened So fast! I have been over weight since age 7. Around age 25 I got down to a size 6 with diet and Lipo and in 4 years gained it al back and in places I never had thought. Since then torturing my body with every diet that exist and not cheap.

I am rambling sorry.

Thank you for all your posts just reading about people who feel the same and same fears ( like dying !! And or getting suck and then dying!! )

O have one question. I am a professional singer. Any one else sing? How long until I can go back to work? My doc said 6 weeks and I think that is kinda long.

Thx <3

      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.
