hi kim

First off you're not going nuts, I still think about my sleeve so much during the day. So very anxious. Its perfectly normal. It seems like I've been waiting for the big day forever - Its finally almost here :tongue2: My DOS is 12/6/11.

There is so I'm still trying to learn about after the surgery, thats what i am obsessed about. I know i have to drink shakes for Protein, but i hear that many can't keep that down and H20 is preferable at 1rst. So many other questions with reference to eating. So as you can see, i'm obsessed by the sleeve too, and i'm not nuts...well maybe alitte. kathy :seeya:

This is a major life change. Of course you're obsessed with it. Didn't you obsess over having your first child? Yes, you did. You probably read everything you could find, worried about having the perfect nursery, and tried to insure you'd be the best parent who ever lived! :) We all do it and it's normal.

I suggest you read the thread about what to take to the hospital and that you explore the forums about other specific questions you have. The answers ARE here and, if you can't find them, lots of us are ready and willing to answer questions, too.

Good luck to both of you!! :)

Girl, I feel the same way. It is all I can think about. I was scheduled for 12/6 but the insurance still has not got my approval through, so I lost my date. It has been moved to 2/14/12. That just gives me that many more weeks to obsess and to drive my family nuts. But this is a really big deal to me. I feel like it is my new lease on life and that I am being given a second chance to do things I never had the opportunity to do before because of my health and weight. I am VERY excited to say the least.

      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.
