Awaiting a call from my Drs office. She thinks August 10 th will work for my surgery. But has to check with the doctor first. He has to go over the last few tests! I REALLY hope so!!! Because after that he goes away on holidays until mid September!! And my three kids will be keeping overly bizy by then!

Good luck to you...and God Bless! I am scheduled for Auguat 22. I am still a little scared, but I am ready! Keep in touch!

I like that - Sleeve Sister. Sounds good! I'm just getting the swing of this forum. I've been a voyeur for months and am diving in. Are you on a Pre-op diet?

I start by pre-op Aug 5th. HERE WE GO!!!!! lol I spent this week weaning myself off of caffeine. OMG!!! I didn't know what an effect it had on my body. I miss the energy boost but i'd rather go thru this now than later when i'm concentrating on my new eating habits. The withdrawal headaches I had each day were torture. I went out to buy Protein Drinks and will be getting the Greek yogurt later, also (i gotta research this more - don't know much about that kind of yogurt). So much to DO!!!! How are things with you? Are you ready?

Hello Shakin! My surgeon has given me a low carb Liver Shrinking Diet. Kinda like Atkins. I wanted to get on something now, because I'm a binge-y eater and will have many LAST SUPPERS between now and then. I'm down to one small cup of coffee a day cause I know headaches are a comin' when I quit the stuff.

Greek yogurt is much richer and better than regular and you will love it.

Have you looked at any video blogs on youtube? They are awesome. People make videos and post em every week. PreOp, Post Op, what to eat, recipes. I just discovered them and feel much better about what I am getting myself into. i copied and pasted at link below. Or you can do a YouTube search on Kellawanda. She is amazing.

That's funny!!! I had been viewing videos on You Tube and hers was one that I REALLY followed. I watched so many of them. She really told the story from surgery day on. Where are you having your surgery? Just wondering if we will be close enough that you will hear me FREAKING OUT!!! lol I don't like hospitals or doctors or any of that stuff. Too bad I can't show up drunk....

      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.
