Yea!!! Good deal! My Pre-op is the 16th, ENG on 17th, surgery on 18th. My doctor's office was great about getting all my appts back to back and has made hotel arrangements for me for the nights of Pre-op, since I live so far away. So far, I have been very impressed with the people working with me, which is reassuring, since I am nervous as a cat's back!

congrats on being sleeved 7/18/2012

it will be a day you will always remember.

this is a long wonderful journey - never ending - but follow the yellow brick road and things will be great.

you will be healthier, and happier - and the added bonus of losing weight isn't such a bad thing either ;)

best of luck

good recovery

I am having my sleeve on July 13th. I am so nervous but there's no going back now. I just want to get through this without complications. I want so badly to be a healthy weight. This has eluded me my whole life. Yo-yo'ing up and down for decades. I'm at my max now. Can I really be down 20 pounds by this time next month?

      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.
