Hi everyone! I am so glad that you guys joined me in the thread. I am excited and nervous about my surgery... but mostly excited. The surgeon I am seeing only requires a three day liquid diet, but today I bought some Protein shakes and am going to start cutting way back on Monday so I am prepared for next Sunday when everything pretty much stops.

I also bought some lovely (eye roll) nightgowns at Walmart today for wearing at the hospital. You know, the fun kind your grandma used to wear that are like housecoats that snap up the front. I figure that will be the easiest as i won't have to deal with putting them on over my head.

Well anyway, I am looking forward to getting to know you all better as we start off on this journey at basically the same time. Great things are ahead!

Hi kbs1010. My surgery is march 9th. Next Friday. I too am looking for a friend to share with. Please let me know how you are feeling about all this. My surgery is at fort Lewis madigan Army Hopital in Washington state. They have tons of experience with this surgery so I pray I don't end up with complications. Never had surgerys or baby's so I don't know what to equate tis to. Good luck and if you like, I'll keep you posted.

It was meant to be. Where are you having your surgery? I actually live in Spokane. In order for my insurance to cover the sleeve, I have to have my surgery ar a military hospital. I'm still so excited to have someone so close.

      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.
