Announcing my surgery date, July 27, 2011. I know it is barely July, but it is still July. I am excited, anxious, relieved, and ready to get this show on the road.

Hope all July sleevers are doing well and getting ready for the big day.

Hi Sheila,

I'm havingmy surgery the same day. I totally agree, the 27th can't get here fast enough!! The only thing I'm dreading is the 1 month pre-op thats required by my doc. Good luck!!!

Hi.

We should exchange email address so we can keep up with each others progress. Mine is sheila.pinkney@shaw.ca

Luckily I do not have to do any pre-op dieting like the liquid diet. I have been doing nothing but pre-op dieting since November 30 and I have lost more than the required 10% and I am still following the 1 cup of food 3 times a day. Although I do cheat now and then. My surgeon said that changing to this diet from the very beginning helps to train you to prepare for life post surgery.

Anyway, hang in there, our day will be here before we know it.

Hey Sheila,

You're kicking some serious butt on the preop weight loss!!! Nicely done! I had no preop diet so I went on a self impossed one of my own and struggled to lose 10 pounds! With the success you've already had, you'll be a guaranteed sleeve success story! keep up the good work.

The 27th will be here before you know it! Hang in there.

Thank Mike. I have worked hard to lose the weight I have. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for me to reach my goal weight. I haven't weighed myself in the past couple of weeks, and I did today, I need to go update my ticker, yay!

Hope all is going well with your recovery. remember, sip, walk, rest - repeat.

      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.
