Hello All,

I am new here and Ijust wanted to introduce myself. I am krystle, 25 out of washington state. Tomorrow I am having surgery and I will be getting the sleeve. I currently weigh 295. I am very excited and nervous at the same time! Tonight I will be packing my hospital bag, It's like I am packing for a vacation in a way but not really. The hospital I am going to is Evergreen in Kirkland. It's really nice I hear. I have been struggling with weight issues since I was a child and I look forward to my new life with the sleeve. I currently have back problems and don't sleep well. I get shortness of breath when I climbs stairs or a hill and I don't want that anymore. I look forward to meeting new people on here and I will drop by tomorrow and say hi. Thanks again for the awesome welcome! :P

      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.
