I am currently a breast n brain cancer survivor, and i have had many surgeries...like 2 c-sections, mastectomy, tram flap surgery, and just recently Brain surgery to remove tumor... But I am still nervous about this surgery! Especially since I cheated a little today with stuffing n cranberry sauce....

Happy Thamksgiving Sleevers. So thanks giving dinner was 6pz of turkey and 1 oz of blackberry wine. Though I am in limbo on a surgery date, I'm still on the preopt diet. i keep hearing the old quote in my mind, "Nothing feels as good as skinny feels" Nothing ever taste as good as skinny feels" (apparently Kate Moss never ate my mom's bourbon sweet potato pecan pie.) so .. Here is to being thankful for modern medicine, a new understanding of morbid obesity as a medical disease and.... The promise of a thinner New Year. We will rock December Sleevers.

Happy Thanksgiving Decembersleevers my date is the 6th of Dec too. I wonder why some doctors have us do days and some weeks of preop diets. I'm going to ask my Doc, but this is for everyone we ate good today but tomorrow lets get back on the grind and accomplish what we need to to get on the losers bench. Prayers go out to all of us on this journey,talk to you soon

Hello December sleevers, my surgery day is Dec. 7 and I too am having mixed emotions. I am exited.and so very nervous and scared. I have thought about this for years and can't believe it is finally going to happen. I wanted to have the surgery before I got any bigger. I want to loose about 65 or 70 pounds. I just wish I could stop worrying so much.

Actually my surgery date is Dec. 5th. I'm having a dual sleeve. I'm not sure why I put the 7th. Lol

My surgery date is 12/3/12, I wanted to have it on 12/11 because that is the day after my 39th bday. My manager is giving me such a hassle about the time off and I have been really stressed out about it. I started my 2-week pre-op liquid diet on Monday, last night and today have been really hard. Thankfully my family did Thanksgiving dinner on 11/10 when all my family could be there. I am very excited and extremely nervous which sounds like a common theme on here..:). Glad to have found this support site! Good luck December sleevers!!

My date is 12/3 also! I'm sure this surgery will be a walk in the park compared to what you've been through. I took a couple of small bites of dressing today just to make sure it tasted alright. I'd think as long as you stick to your diet from here on out you'll be fine. Today was Day 4 of liquid diet.

      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.
