January 4th is my date! I love the idea if starting off a new year with this surgery to boost me into a brand new me! I will be 40 in a couple of years and I want to be in great shape by then. Also love the thought of having a few people to compare stories with as we recover and lose.

Jan 17 2013 here in Puerto Vallarta MX by Dr. Lopez. So excited So anxious. Wish I were leaving today. So ready to start the New Year!!!! I think that is the first time I have felt that way in a long time!!!! I turn 40 in 2013 and plan on being HAPPY_HEALTHY_and_TERRIFIC in 2013. That is my New Years resolution. I think the sleeve will help with the healthy part. And I think the other will fall into place as some other changes are made in my life this year. Can't wait!!!! I am from Mississippi but am moving to Austin TX the week prior to surgery. Good luck sleever's on the up coming journey. Keep in touch!!! Can't wait to hear everyone's stories and experiences. Hopefully we can help each other through the process.

      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.
