I am July 24th for my sleeve. It seems like I've been talking about it forever, and now the countdown is on and it's real. And THAT is making it seem surreal.

I'm on 2 weeks optifast/optislim, but can also have 2 cups of salad/veg and 130g Protein. I save the protein & veg and just have an evening meal with the family. I will say however I don't think I realized how much I have been dependent on carbs to satisfy me or make me feel better. I was nauseas last night, and my first thought was, in the past I would have had some tea and toast to settle my tummy, but can't do that now. Loll I'm going to have to find a lot of things to distract myself from mindless eating.

      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.
