I still have a few pre-op conditions to satisfy. Hope to be done by Oct/Nov. Actually hoping for September but that seems unrealistic now. Congrats to TracyZ on the loss! :) and futureskinnypants, I'll be checking out your video blog from home. :)

Looking forward to losing with you all.

Hi!

I'm new to this board and considering getting the sleeve. Was just approved for the band but realized along with my doctor that the band was ntot the best option for me and the sleeve would be better. Due to some travel, I can't have it done until November. Looking to meet new friends and gain support and information as I go through this journey. It's scary!

Was wondering who everyone is using as their doctor and what your experiences have been!

My Dr. is Attia in South Jersey. We also decided that lap band was not my best option. I had my last NUT visit this morning and only need my psych eval. I have an appt for it on 9/11 but I'm trying to get into somewhere else sooner. Hopefully I can. Cannot wait to get my date. Super excited to begin this leg of my journey. Look forward to sharing with you. :)

Thanks Tracy. :) I'm a little southwest of that but can pick it up from route 9 without much problem.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to lose the 60? It seems the closer I get the more worried I become.

NUT visit went good and my psych is the 5th...freaking out.

      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.
