Congrats beachlover! Glad to hear everything went well.

I agree day time tv sucks. I don't even care for evening tv unless it's a Dbacks game or HBO.

I went and saw "what to expect when you are expecting" at the theater today. It was good. The trailer made it seem like just a comedy but there was more to it. I don't have kids and still enjoyed it. I'm thinking of seeing battleship tomorrow. Anyone see it yet?

OH YEAH!! Still a May sleever!!! I was suppose to have my surgery May 16th but a spot on my lung delayed that, prompted a biopsy and totally threw me into a tissy! Everything turned out ok and my new sleeve date is May 22!! Just 3 days away - i'm SO excited!! :D I hate that everthing happened the way it did (VERY stressful!!) but am kinda glad at the same time - i knew i wanted this but having it delayed and not knowing how long it would be before they could get me back in really drove home how BADLY i want this!! No nerves for me yet, just pure joy that it's happening so soon!!! :)

I was sleeved May 7th. Yes, they do have you up and walking the same day of surgery, and you know what? It wasn't that hard. I had my 10 day post-op visit with my surgeon this week and told him that I already felt better physically than I did the last time I was in his office, which was 4 days before the surgery. My knees didn't hurt, and walking was so much easier for me, even in just so short a time.

Good luck, everyone! :)

After 2 tries, on the third one I finally got my insurance approval. Getting sleeved Tuesday, the 22nd for sure!! Now, I don't gnaw my own arm off during the pre-op liquids only diet, I'll be fine! So totally excited. Best of luck to all the people getting sleeved on Monday!

I've been watching Netflix streaming videos & Amazon Prime instant videos & reading some. I like movies since I can walk around the living room while they're on, but it's hard to hold my book & walk!! I'm doing better every day though!

      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.
