I am new here and nervous! I've heard lots of positive things about the sleeve and negative things. I feel anxious. I am looking for a buddy to talk to who has perhaps already had this surgery done on them.

Me too, had my first seminar with the Hollywood Bariatric Center and they were awesome. Scheduled for my first consult with he doctor and before it was an idea I had and now it's forging into a reality but knowing that being díabetic and obese will knock forty years off my life is motivation enough to get with this vsg program. I just got married and have a son in college , many more years to live but not if I don't do this right. So don't fear, do the research and know that this surgery will save your life. Yes yoy lay or may not have complications but not the ones you'll have if you become diabetic, with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.... Heart attack waiting to happen.

      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.
