Hi,

Yea!!! I found some people in Maryland. I live in Baltimore County. I am having my surgery on Monday :D

@Earthchick97. I am having my surgery at Holy Cross Hospital. It's about 1 hour from my home. I wish I could have my surgery at a closer hospital. Since our surgery dates are so close, it would be nice to have you as a buddy. Are you on a liquid diet now? JH is a wonderful hospital. Best of luck to you.

@Dawn - are you still loving your sleeve? I am a little nervous. I would love to ask you some questions. Now that my surgery is right around the corner, I just wonder what's next. What should I expect. Any tips or advice that you could share would be wonderful. I could really use a mentor.

Have a wonderful day,

Toyia

Hey!

I'm in Silver Spring Md and I will be having my sleeve 3/6/12 in Portsmouth, VA. I'd love to talk to anyone else who is going through the process of getting sleeved or has already been sleeved. I've fought so hard with the military hospital system and now that I have my date, it's kind of hard to wrap my head around it. I'm really nervous!

      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.
