My name is nichole and im getting sleeved on July 19....yay!!!! I had my final nutrionist visit on 6/16/11, meet with the anesthesiologist on 7/7/11 and as long as uhc doesnt drag their feet with the authorization my new life will start on 7/19/11. Needless to say I am happy and nervous at the same time. I started this journey in december 2010 and it has been long and frustrating at times but i know it will be well worth the wait. Well anyway i just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone. I just discovered this sight yesterday and im sure ill be on it almost everyday getting information etc so if anyone has any tips or anything let me know. I look forward to getting to know all of you and have a great day!

Hi Nichole!

I'm brand new to the sight as well, just joined yesterday. It's nice to see another newbie. :)

I don't have my surgery date yet but I'm hoping it will be within a couple months.

Good luck and I can't wait to hear about everything!!

Tanya

      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.
