I finally have my surgery date for a gastric sleeve, it is JULY 25th!. Are there any others out there with the same date? I am worried about losing some weight before hand. Tomorrow I go in for my final nutrionist appointment, so I am going to assume I will be placed on a liquid diet. What kinds of diets have any of you guys been placed on?

Also is anyone gettting it done in Westchester Medical? I am soooooooooooooooooo anxious about this. i have so many things going on in my life such as relocating to a new state, and I quit smoking after 10years. so I have alot on my plate.

Hey we share the same surgery date!! I am so excited and nervous and anxious, just a ball of emotion really! I have already lost about 5 lbs of the weight I am supposed to lose before my surgery and my DR doesn't do the liquid diet before the surgery, he just basically says lose this weight or else the surgery is off until I do. So I have researched several diets and have settled on the cabbage Soup diet. Since I have been dieting on and off for the last couple months and lost, i figure a real strict diet is just what I need to get rid of the last few pounds. I am so ready for this surgery!! Good luck to you and congrats!

Congrats on your surgery date. :D

      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.
