Is anyone else getting their sleeve on Jan. 3rd? Have been reading but haven't seen anyone with that date yet, always before or right after.

Anyone planning on getting sleeved Jan. 2013? Haven't seen anyone talking bout Jan yet. Looked at the monthy groups and it goes up to December 2012. I plan on getting sleeved Jan. 7th.

I completed my supervised diet in Nov., I'm now awaiting insurance approval which I am sure to be approved for because of all my health issues that will be solved with surgery....except my Graves Disease. I was hoping to have a January date...but I got Feb 1st. Only because I'm because I'm awaiting approval. So thats close enough to Jan....isn't it?

How are everyone's feet doing? I have to admit mine are getting cold.

I know the folks who discourage my surgery are doing so because they love me and worry something bad will happen. A nurse told my sister she wouldn't recommend it because "so many people gain the weight back."

Ugh. It is scary. But I really need to change this fat life.

My surgery date was changed from January 4 to January 25. A little bummed but still excited to be part of the January 2013 sleeve club!

My surgery is on the 8th. My feet aren't ice cubes yet, but they are definitely chilled. Nervous, nervous, nervous.

I know I'm doing the right thing, and I should be fine but I'm still scared.

Good luck to you!

      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.
