Hello everyone

I finally decided to register for the site after the lastfew months of just stopping by.

I started myadventure around December/January this year and have taken forever. Most of myissues came when my insurance company let me know they were missing thingsafter they get submitted but oh well I guess that’s the way they are. I couldgo down a long list of problems I had in the process but needless to say I havemy procedure on 8/23/2011 @ 0800. Sometimes I feel I want to jump forward intime to have it all done and be skinny again and able to go running and then Iwake up lol.

I have been on the liquid diet my Doctor put me on for twoweeks which was broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jell-O, juices, and notto forget my Protein Shakes which is 52g @ 320cal twice a day. I have messed upand ate some chicken noodle Soup 3 times and a couple bites of cottage cheese, but all in all I’m hoping its ok, granted after that I’m thinking to myself “didyou really need that”.

Still two more days plus a couple days in hospital, thenvacation for two weeks if we can call it a vacation L

Hi there! You get sleeved the day before me! I also started early Jan, and the process was slower than I would have liked, but that was due to some well, incompetence on the part of my surgeon's staff.

There's a sub-forum for August Sleevers, you should stop in:

And the liquid diet sucks. I have a 2 week pre-op liquid diet and I'm so ready for the post-op when I get a few extra's (creamy Soup, yogurt, yum!)

Morning All

Hi Kami, I hope all goes well

Guess its off to Walmart to find me something for the next couple days along with some slippers or something to wear.

On a side note I wish I had read closer about the Stntrax packets having no fat or carbs sooner and almost the same Protein. I would have ordered a sampler sooner and probably lost a few more pounds, better late than never I guess.

I could probably look through here and find this but how long did most wait till they went bike riding or exercising, a week?

      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.
