Woo~ we're all getting the sleeve early! I'm having my surgery on the 3rd w/ Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras~!

I'm super excited too~ I'm going alone on this journey.. but it should be OK!

Let's keep each other updated!!

How long is your required pre-op diet? Mine is supposed to be 1 week but I will try to do 10-14 days.... I'm hoping that if I lose more before surgery.. I'll lose even MORE after the surgery. ;)

Mine is a 14 day pre op. I'm not looking forward to that or giving up caffeine.

I will resurrect my skype (lol) and post the address as one way to keep in touch. i am from the Bahamas and my cell phone will be roaming but i shudder to think what my bill would be like, so i will definitely be on skype if necessary.

Hi there everyone!

I am a November hopeful, can I join? :)

I am jumping through the insurance hoops and hoping to get a November date. I am a little worried having this surgery right before the holidays, but excited to start 2012 mostly recovered and full of energy and happiness.

We'll just be getting a head start on our New Year's Resolution ;) It'll be awesome to look good and feeling good by the new year! Since there will be a many of gatherings and parties.. I already made up some excuses for those who I don't plan to tell about my surgery. :huh: I like to be prepared. :lol:

@bikerchick519: Because of what you said, I tried to wean myself off of coffee for the last 3 days and felt sooo tired and sluggish! Finally got some today and was so productive! I guess I just have to go from a large cup to a medium to a small.. to like every other day or something. :( Can't just stop cold-turkey!

I tried to wean myself off and didn't do well. I will have to wait until the last minute and then go cold turkey. The headaches will stink but I did it once before for a month. It was rough though.

We need a really cool name.... like the banana Babes or something, lol. (since our stomachs will end up looking like a banana, heh)

      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.
