I am scheduled through Ready4Achange with Dr. Garcia to have my sleeve done on May7. Is anyone else going to be there at this time? Would love to connect with someone who is going to be around the same time as me to share the experiences.

Congrats to all of you!! I am sooo excited! I wish I could have my surgery right NOW! April 27th can't get here soon enough..! I wish y'all the best in your recoveries & please keep us all updated! :)

I noticed you are getting surgery close to the same time as me with Dr. Garcia. We may not be there at the same time. I think you are about a week ahead of me. (my surgery date is May 7) I noticed your beginning weight and end weight is the same as mine. Interested in connecting with you and sharing experiences with the sleeve if you would be up for something like that. Would be nice to have someone who is starting at the same place and have the same goals in mind. :) Let me know or feel free to friend request me.

I just spoke with Ms. Alma, Ready 4 Change, today and had her put me down for May 10th. I am undecided if I want to fly in the night before or the day of. At this time, I'm planning on traveling alone, but I think I'm going to have my husband tag alone. He really does not want me traveling to Mexico with all of the bad news that we hear about here in SA.

      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.
