Hi all. I have been lurking on these boards for sometime now. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, it has given me a certain peace of mind in going through the decision process. I have finally committed and set a date. I will be getting sleeved by Dr. Kelly on August 10th. I would love to hear from any other patients who will be there at that time.

If mine were alive I definitely would have taken her!! I was lucky to have two girls I met online there with me :-)

I was nervous that she wouldn't go with me bc she has had a couple of back surgeries and traveling is hard on her. But so very thankful I have her going with nothing like taking your best friend!

I was telling Jen today that I would jump at the chance at going with someone if they didn't want to go alone. Good luck to you all, you chose a great surgeon!

      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.
