HI!! I've been following this site for a few months, since I've started on my Sleeve Quest. I am down to my Psych eval appointment on Thursdy 8/9 and then it goes in to my insurance for approval. I figured to start on with my new journey, that included meeting new friends... and what better friends than ones that have been through all the obstacles you are trying to conquer. You guys are all role models and show the beginners (me included) that this may be a difficut journey but with the right tools you can do it!! NO EXCUSES! Thank you!!

Gotta love spellcheck! I stalked for months too and am so glad I found this group. The other site I have looked at seems to have a lot of fighting and negativity. Not everyone there is like that, but it gets tiring when I'm looking for positive energy for my journey.

      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.
