Thanks! I plan to post my whole experience. I read these boards voraciously, constantly looking for new information and I want to share my story in the hopes that even one thing I say might help someone like everyone has helped me.

I read all the time too! This is where I decided to go with the sleeve instead of the bad. Didn't really want something foreign in my body to deal with all of the time anyway. I think this is going to change our lives forever! :D

How is the Pre-Op diet going for you? I start mine next Thursday and I think I have gained 5lbs since I found out my date because of that stupid thought that I won't ever be able to eat again.<_< I'm working on it though. :rolleyes:

I actually don't start mine until tomorrow. I know, most people are jealous but I have my surgery Monday and don't get to go home until Wednesday even though I live 7 minutes away. Lol. It's all a trade off. I've caught myself doing the food funerals too but now that I'm so close I honestly just want to get it done and for the first time I'm getting a glimpse at "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". :)

      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.
