I am also June 19. However I am up here in PA. I have a daughter who's almost 4' date=' and rather smart for her age, and I've told her that I'm having surgery to help me make my belly smaller and give me more energy so I can play with her more and do more things with her. She gets upset that I'm going to be away for a few days but when I remind her she is going to be with her grandparents, she is fine. I answer her questions as they come up. She did want to know if I'd be smaller as soon as I came home. I had to explain that it would take time.[/quote']

I'm scheduled for the 19th too!

Thanks, I was a nervous wreck! No, I wasn't driving!!! Sn: That scares me, but lots of vloggers tend to record while they are driving. That's a bit much for me. :)

I recorded it in the car for two reasons. First, I kept being a chicken about making the video. I pulled into my driveway & said it's now or never...so, I just did it. ;) Secondly, the lighting is much better!!! (Plus, it was easier b/c my tripod hasn't arrived yet.)

Doing much better today, I seemed to have turned a corner. Tomorrow will be two weeks out. I walked 3 separate times today each about 1/2 hour, visited my parents, they all ate Chili, I had 1/3 of a sugar free pudding and drank a bottle of Water.

Came home and now I'm trying to get 6 ounces of Isopure Green Tea in. If I can do it, I will hit 22 Protein which is up from yesterday. I will attempt Protein Shake again tomorrow, but if it gets rough I will have to call the nutritionist. No shake seems to sit well with me. I honestly think I could get more protein on mushy's that on the shakes.< /p>

ps i can get 64 ounces of liquids in with no problem.....I have gone through too many Protein Shakes that are not agreeing with me.

Great Job, Little Bits!! I, too, thought that I wanted the lap band when I first started this process...didn't realize that the Sleeve was an option until I went to in informational meeting by my surgeon. So glad that I have the sleeve!

I look forward to following your videos. My surgery was on the 12th, so we'll just be a week apart.

Best wishes on your journey!

Nicely done, littlebits. I can't believe we're in the home stretch. 30 hours for me. :) I'm so nervous about the surgery. I can't eat and sleep has been little. Good luck to you.

      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.
