I am getting so excited for my revision! This last 2 years without my Lapband after having it for 6 years has been so difficult! I'm on a constant diet with no results. I know the sleeve will still be hard work, but I can't wait to see some results! I got used to my smaller weight after losing with the band and now I feel like Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal since I regained it! Time to unzip this fat suit! Any other Tijuana sleeves happening on the 15th?

So Nervous. Surgery with Dr Ariel Ortiz is coming up on 1/16. I am so excited but scared. I hate surgery and the IV's but it will be the best investment I have ever made!

I'm on Day 6 of 10 (I started a day early) and so far, so good! The first 2 or 3 days were NOT fun, but now I'm finding that I feel fairly normal! :)

      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.
