Tara,

I am getting sleeved July 5th by Dr. Philip Price at Mount Carmel Medical Center and you? I started this process last August, finally got approved in April and have to wait until July to get worked into the surgery schedule -- he's just that busy. So far I don't have to do the 3 week liquid only pre-op diet. Do you?

I attempted to go through OSU Medical Center (Dr. Needlemen, who was great!) this past October, however, my insurance would not approve the procedure (after the psych eval, meetings with the nut. AND several physical tests) so my only option was going to Mexico! I am being sleeved by Dr. Lopez in TJ. (booked through alighterme) The only requirement I have a 7 day liquid diet following up to my surgery,

I'm getting sleeved on July 11th. they could have scheduled me for June 27th, but my wife could not get off of work that day or the day after so I pushed it back so she could be there with me. That's ok...I'd rather be a Firecracker than a Jewel anyway. Firecracker sounds much more manly :D

Hey Wendy. I like the name "July Firecrackers". I'm being sleeved July 25th.

Hi there! My surgery is scheduled for July 5th, but I'm not going to Mexico... so only four days after you.

I'm so excited to get this new life started! I start my liquid diet on June 21 ~ the day after my daughter's 9th birthday! I've been trying to cut down my carb intake and am trying to UP my Protein intake (including Protein shakes). I really want to start walking in the evenings, but am having a hard time getting someone to walk with me... so thinking I might just have to finally put my gym membership to use (I've only had it for 20 yrs! :blink:) Is there anything your doing special to prepare? I'd love to have someone to commiserate with during our first few weeks of sleevedom... After we make it through those first few weeks, then we'll be celebrating it, I'm sure!

Well, let's see.. since there are the all these cute names being given to other sleeve siblings... I think we should have a cute name too! How about something like the July Firecrackers? :P

Okay, talk to you soon!

Wendy

Hello Firecrackers!!! OMG.... I have to start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow AM and I'm kinda freakin' out a bit! I never thought I'd get nervous about this, since I've wanted it for so long and have researched so much, but here I am, wanting to eat everything I wont' have again for so long..... I have definitely been having a food funeral the past couple days! Call me weak, call me a crazy, whatever...........but I just HAD to taste the artery clogging, ass fattening goodness of a Big Mac w/ extra sauce, just ONE last time! LOL :D

Don't hate on me, come tomorrow it will be all business and Protein shakes! But for one last day I'm gunna let myself eat like a teenager and have french fries and Birthday cake for my daughter's 9th birthday!!! I'm gunna enjoy myself before I have to turn into a raging starving ****** the next couple weeks! Oh yeah, and I've already apologized to everyone in my house in advance :lol:!!

Wish me luck!!! Talk to yo all soon!

Wendy

      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.
