February 22nd for me!!!! Finally after starting this process 10/11, my new life will begin on the 22nd. I can hardly contain myself!!! It's been a long hard wait!!! High Protein no/low carb pre-op diet begins Friday and I'm ready to get to it. I would like to try the liquid for a week just to get as close to 250lbs pre-op as I can.

Losers bench, here I come!!!!!

Haha, my surgery feels forever away now that some of you Feb. people are having it done right now, or in the next few days. You will be seasoned sleeve veterans by the time I head into the OR. :D

I have done a ton of research on this surgery and feel it is pretty darn safe as far as surgeries go. I am not nervous about the actual surgery or the life changes after surgery but every time I think about surgery I start to get nervous.... I am afraid to be put under. I have never had surgery. My husband and son say it seems like you are out for 5 mins.

Today is your day yay! I hope it went well for you.

I am getting my sleeve on Feb 25th. I am nervous but just because I have never had surgery before. My thoughts are I have tried everything, and I want to be healthy again. My concern is that I haven't told my side of the family because they are so negative about people having wls. So, my husband and his side knows because my mother in law just had it. She is doing great by the way, she has lost 28lbs in 5 weeks.

Good luck, and your not alone! :)

      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.
