I just joined about a week ago, and my only regret is not signing up sooner. I am so thrilled to be able to communicate with others that are going through the same things as I am. I love that in every single post that I have read there has been nothing negative or derogitory at all. In a world were it is hard to find people that have kind things to say it is really wonderful to come on here and get the support that I truely need. I hope others are finding this site so rewarding. I love all of the advice out there for us up coming sleevers, those that are hopeful that they can get sleeved soon, and others that have just recently gone through the surgery. There are so many helpful suggestions and such possitive remarks that I find myself being more addicted to being on this site than the food that has been haunting me for years. So just want to really say thank you to all of the wonderful posts that people have made, and say keep it up, it really is helping others on their weight loss journeys.

Welcome! Read Read Read! There is such a wealth of experience and wisdom here. I am only two weeks out from surgery and I can't help but think things went easier for me because I knew what to expect... the good, the bad and the ugly... knowing somethings that happen after surgery are normal kind of relieves the anxiety.

      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.
