Ok, I still feel a bit nervous but I'm better. I changed surgeons too. He isn't nickel and dime'in me. I'm also staying an extra night at the hospital. I have been hearing nothing but good about him too. Dec 13th is around the corner. Can't wait for the thin me to come back out again.

Hello.... Surgery date is December 11th and I am finding that in day 2 of liquid diet is much harder than I expected! Any suggestions?

What are you drinking? How often? Etc.

I'm on day 3 and so far I'm doing ok. I can tell you what I'm doing if that will help.

When I get up i make three shakes to take to work. Pack those and two sf jellos. At 730 I start shake one. At 930 have a Jello. 1130 shake. 130 jello. 330 shake. When I get home the last two nights in have some chicken broth while family eats. Then have another shake about 8pm. In between all that drinking lots of Water. I've already had 8 cups nor counting what's in my shakes. I've also been chewing gum if I feel the urge to eat.

Not sure if that helps.

My surgery date for the sleeve pending insurance approval is December 19th!!! I'm 5'5, & at 242.. I too am looking for the support of people who are going through, or have gone through the same experience.. My parents are 100% supportive, but they've never had to deal with the struggles of being obese.. They said insurance approval takes 3-5 days and they are submitting the request next week!!! Hoping the 19th is still the plan, & I'm starting my liquid diet & Protein Shakes on December 5th!!! Gotta think positive & shrink that liver!!! With God all things are possible, and I'm praying for everything to go well with this life changing journey!!!! Any ideas for diets to follow, pre & post surgery info would be great too!! I am very inspired by ALL of your stories!! Please feel free to reach out ANY TIME!!!!! We can all do this together & succeed!!! I have 3 beautiful Angels that I need to live for.. SO FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

Hey back2me, (and everyone) sounds like we have very similair digits. My date is set for dec 18th and I'm 5"6 and current weight is 224. I don't have to do Pre-op diet but it'll be interesting to track a similar progress!

Had my stress test today... Rocked it. Got confirmed for 8:30 on the 26th, pro opp on the 18th. Had a stressful emotional moment today (unrelated to surgery), and all I wanted to do was get home and shove food in my face until the feeling went away. Since I was driving at the time, I took the moment to reflect on how I'm going to handle this trigger after surgery. Didn't come up with any kind of game plan, but I liked that I identified the emotion so strongly tied to food, and knew it had nothing to do with hunger. It will be a challenge. A real behavioral change for me. Don't take me wrong, I still went through with it ( the eating, that is) but there was a moment I separated it all and I felt good about that. Maybe that I could address it more straight on in the future. Pretty soon, I won't have a choice about it, and to that I am looking forward!
