Congrats - Dr. Babineau was my hubands surgeon and who I wanted to go with but couldnt seem to come up with the $14,000 it was going to cost me :0)

To the rest of you gals - I am sooooo lost on all of the questions and lists, lol. I still can not believe that I dont have a sleeve buddy. Out of all of these sleevers in Aug NOBODY else is having surgery on 8/3. I have to say I have a hard time keeping up with this thread and all of the others I am trying to keep up with.....

All I know is I have 3 wks and 3 days until my transformation day! Starting my pre-op diet a wk early, so Im gonna go for it this Fri :0)

KRBullardRN - WELCOME!!!! AND CONGRATS ON YOUR DATE!!

txjina1-noooooo. you can't stay if your not in august! lol jk ...your still family so your always welcome! congrats on the move up! Keep us posted and don't forget about us!

CONGRATS to my good friend mimismom who had surgery today at 12 noon and has left me unpatiently waiting on the edge of my seat to find out how it went !!! She needs to text me ASAP!!! lol jk i guess she has to come out of the anesthesia first. :/

In new news, I spoke with the nurse at my Dr's office today via email. I told her that i went from 250 (feb) 260 (april-consult with dr. w) to about 275 today. She said that because my BMI went up that much, since its over a certain BMI (i think 45) I was 42 and now im 47....The doc might be looking more closely at me so i should try to start my pre op TOMORROW. shes advising me to do Meal Replacements with my shakes until pre op starts....so...HERE I AM! tomorrow, I will start my pre preop diet. shake for Breakfast, shake for lunch, and low carb dinner i guess. We'll see what happens. In the mean time im going out for my last meal tonight. Not sure what its going to be yet....

QUESTION OF THE DAY: what is your "last meal" going to be???

August 1st is my day to be sleeved. On my no carb diet now and I start my Clear Liquids on the 22nd.

Can't wait to get this started. My son is getting married in May 2013 and I would love to have alot off by then and rock a gorgeous dress on his wedding day!!

But I do know I need to be patient because everyone looses weight differently. I have diabetes and am really looking forward to getting off my medication and active again.

Good thoughts and best of luck to all my fellow August sleevers, we have sooooooo much to look forward to and be thankful for!!

Well I have already begun my cutting out carbs, no fried foods, removing sweets, coming off caffeine and diet sodas....preparing for my semi liquid diet which starts July 26th. So I have already had "my last meal". My absolute favorite restaurant is carrabbas and my favorite dish is Pasta carrabba. It was so yummy I spread it out to make two meals, yumminess lasted longer.

      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.
