Hello Everyone!

My name is Alia, and I will be having my sleeve done 23 August 2012. I am very nervous, yet excited at the same time. I cannot wait until the day arrives, so that I can begin my new life.

Today is the first day of my 2 week liquid diet. I am doing great so far.

Is anyone else going to Mexico for their sleeve the same time I am? Nice to meet everyone, feel free to say hello, and add me to your August sleeve list. :)

Newbie to the site, but loving all this info I get from everyone. I'm an August sleever as well. Aug 21st is my big day with Dr Srikanth at St Francis Hospital in Federal Way, WA. So so excited, thankfully nerves haven't kicked in just yet. But I can only imagine how I will feel on surgery day.

Has anyone started their liquid diets yet? I have, and gosh, I never felt so empty before. I have been trying to fill up on Protein Shakes and broth. After I eat, at that particular time, it does fill me up, then shortly within 4 or 5 hours later, I am empty again. I hope everyone else is doing well with their diets whilst preparing for their surgeries. I am so thrilled about this journey that I am about to embark on. I cannot tell everyone enough, how long that I have waited for this upcoming event to arrive. Does everyone else have the butterflies yet?

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. My dr requires it 10 days before surgery. I did this a couple weeks ago as well and definitely had the empty feeling too. I drink a ton and ton of Water to keep me full and try to keep myself occupied so I'm not thinking about the whole not eating part. I don't do much broth because it actually makes me feel sick after I drink it. Which is weird cause most people say it helps with the nauseousness and keeps them full. But then again when have I not been an odd ball. Lol my dr said if I get that hungry I can always add in a 4th Protein Shake. No butterflies yet but I know they will be coming. Getting so so excited. ????

      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.
