I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Thursday August 23rd @ 0730!!! With that tomorrow I will have nothing but liquids all day and start with the pre op meds tomorrow and early Thursday morning. This process has flew by. It's taken me less than 2 months from my initial consult with my PCP to surgery date, which is good, but way quicker than I had planned out in my head. I know I'm doing the right thing for me and my family. Me and my wife are expecting in late January and with me losing the weight I'll be able to keep up with him/her as they grow up, along with alleviating my constant knee pain I have due to 2 torn cartilage surgeries in my left knee. I'm soooo glad I found this site for the information and tons of support everyone here offers. Will check back Thursday or Friday after surgery!!!!

      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.
