Hello! My name is Jacinta. I live in Chicago. I was banded back in "08" after suffering four years of vomiting, belching, and heart burn the band slipped last year!!!! I thought that I would just have them fix the band because I had no clue about the SLEEVE!!! Thank God I didn't. I'm so grateful to have this second chance, God is Amazing!!! So please pray for me, my surgery is TOMORROW!!!! I'm the first one of the day. I have to be there at 5:30 am and my surgery time is 7:30!!!! I'm a Lil nervous, but I know I will be ok!! Again,,please send a prayer for me and I'll send one for you!!!!

      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.
