Hi everyone! My stats: I am 56 (or a mature 30 ) and am 5'5 and weigh 286. I think that's 47 in bmi land. ( however I have been sick with sinus infection for two weeks and ate way too much and walked way too little)

My doc's office is doing all the insurance work. Looking forward to surgery with Dr Andrei in Luvingston, NJ on Feb 28.

SO I decided today to look, i mean really look, at the calendar. My date of surgery is February 5th, so I have February in my brain BUT really I am in the window!!! I should begin all my vitamins! My pre-op diet of liquids will start in 2 weeks. This process has been really easy for me I feel like it is meant to be! I can't believe it is really here! :unsure:

So I was going to be sleeved on February 16th but it's now been pushed back to February 27th because of finances. I'm paying for it on my own and will be recovering mostly alone since i live in Seoul' date=' south Korea. My fiancé doesn't live close by so I'm going to be on this journey mostly alone.

I'm nervous because I'll only have about 4.5 days to recover before going back to work. Eek!

Good luck everyone!

Oh and my stats again: 24 years old, 224lbs, 5'3", BMI: 39[/quote']

Sorry you have go at this alone :( best of luck to 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.
