I had my 2nd psych eval yesterday, and now I should get my appt. to see the surgeon any day now...They told me mid July and they would be sure of that since I am a teacher, but I'm getting nervous about the timing here. I wonder if they forgot, and I should remind them, or just trust that it will work out just the way it should. I get nervous about sounding pushy and they will take it away from me, which is totally irrational. I'm ready to do this!

Take control of your journey, my surgery team actually liked that I kept calling and pushing for a date and to get all my pre op clearances.

It shows you are motivated and ready to rock the sleeve I'm one week from monday, and everything is falling into place.

I go pick up my Optifast on Tuesday and start the pre-op on Wedesday. I'm a little nervous about weather I'm going to be able to do this or not. I'm already eating everything In sight: it's like I'm afraid to not eat it or I'll never be able to again! Not to mention what my family's going to eat during this time. Any mommies dealing with this too?

I'm sad to say that I won't be having surgery on July 27 like I'm scheduled. I'm not so sad to say why but it is a little bittersweet nonetheless. I found out Friday morning that we are expecting again! So now, VSG will have to wait. God's timeline was different from mine and He pretty much just laughed at my plans. Oh well! I did cry when I found out I was pregnant, tears of sadness over not being able to have surgery, and tears of happiness over getting to be mommy again. One thing is for sure, at least the Good Lord willing, I will be having a sleeve just at a later date! I'll be keeping watch to see how all of you guys are doing. I'm keeping you all in my prayers and wishing you all the best of luck!

      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.
