Well I am just pretty much starting this journey to the surgery. I am starting to get my clearances done one by one, I have just recently quit smoking. I was thrilled to when I found this site dedicated to people that have had or going to have the sleeve surgery. I go for my pulmonary clearance this Friday morning, and then I have my gastroenterology clearance June 11. I am still making all of my appointments for my other clearances. I am really excited to be doing this. This is going to be a whole new life for me. :) I really can not wait until the surgery date actually gets here!!!

Welcome to the group. You will find a lot of great support here. Sounds like you are well on your way and surgery will be here before you know it. I can't believe that I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow... time is flying by for me and it will for you too!!!

I have found so much information on this site. I am still learning my way through the whole site, but it seems like there is so much information available on this site, more then any other I have found.

I totally agree, there is a ton of great information and the people are really great. It's amazing how long after surgery some people still post on the boards. It's great to see the success stories, they are an inspiration.

      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.
