This is my first posting and I'm feeling nervous and exited at the same time since today I got my surgery date. I begin my two week liquid diet on Monday 10/29 and my surgery date is 11/13/12.

I know that I'm in good hands with Kane Center in Il. I have read many posts here that have helped me so much.

Thank you everyone! You have no idea how your support lifts my spirits! Besides the sleeve, I'm going through marriage problems that have brought up other issues. But my faith in God and the support from my family and close friends and not to mention this forum keeps me positive when there's so much negative around me.

I'm starting at 230 lb's, and have struggled with my weight for years. The most weight I ever list was 30 lb's but gained it all back and then some.

To my sleeve twin, I'm also from Chicago. Great to hear we're in this together on same day!!!! ????

      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.
