I did! Same surgeon' date=' I had mine 11/5/12.... Good luck![/quote']

Great! How are you doing?! My surgery is in 2 days and I'm filled with emotions right now... I was so excited to do the pre-op diet, but I have had some setbacks..... What was your experience like? How much contact did you have with the Dr? What were your stats? I'm 5'7" 380 lbs 30 yr old woman. :-)

I am doing alright, down 35lbs :) I've had a tough time accepting I can't eat like a "fat girl" anymore if that makes sense? Surgery went well, Dr said hi before I went back, checked on me the 2nd day in the hospital then saw him for my 4 week check up. My stats... Pre liquid diet 243, day of surgery 231. I'm am 32, female and 5'5...

So glad to see so many west side sleevers out there!!! I was sleeved on December 17th and trying to have a good recovery. I was very impressed with the hospital staff and the care I received. I would like to find a support group closer to home.... Maybe we can all get together and start one?

Anyone interested in meeting up soon? Maybe at friendship park in Avondale?

I could maybe once a month or something. I live in Mesa so that is quite a drive. I work in downtown Phoenix though

      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?

      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.
