Just got the date, August 15th at 10:30 am at Presbyterian Main!.

YAY! Wouldn't that be cool if I got so lucky as an Aug 15th date?! We could walk the halls together at Presby :) Somehow, I have the feeling it'll be a Sept date for me though.

Oh my gosh, that would be so cool if you did. Are you planning to go to support group? I hope we get to meet and walk along this journey supporting each other. Keep me posted

Hi, I am from Randleman, just south of Greensboro. I was sleeved on April 4th by Dr. Dasher, in High Point. I am down 69lbs and 2 pants sizes. I still have trouble getting in all the protien I need, but it gets better everyday and I feel so much better.

      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.
