I'm excited to share that I was approved and my surgery date is December 10th! I was hoping to get it done sooner, but my surgeon is an avid deer hunter & hunting season is pretty much a holiday here in Wisconsin. Any other December sleevers out there? I started this journey back in April and I'm so excited to move forward. I will get to 'enjoy' Thanksgiving then start two weeks of SmartForme high Protein food prior to surgery. The pre-op diet doesn't seem too bad, but no caffeine/diet coke will be a hard one!

Thanks! I will have to be on the high Protein diet for two weeks prior to surgery, to help shrink the liver down. I'm very excited! I want to get everything ready for Xmas beforehand so I don't stress out while recovering.

I'm live in northern WI, in the minocqua area, but my surgery will be done at Aspirus in Wausau. I'm so excited, I turn 40 next year, and look forward to the next 40 years as a healthier version of me!

      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.
