Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward a new life. I love this app too. I learned so much. The more knowledge I gained from people's experiences, the more I was ready for surgery. Keep reading everyday and make notes to ask your surgeon and nutritionist questions. Best wishes!

welcome

congrats on starting the first day of the rest of your life - wonderful journey through Sleeveland

start to explore new life with working Pre-Op, watching your food, liquids, eating amounts - then when you are sleeved, you'll be ahead of the game

its ok and understandable to be scared/nervous, don't let it get the better of you

read the boards - hear about peoples experience

write a list of questions for the dr. - take notes - continue to read the board, do more research if you like

hope you get DOS soon

good luck

speedy recovery

      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.
