I'd like an invitation to the February 2013 Social Group!

I'll be sleeved in Mexico on Feb. 21st by Dr. Garcia. My preop diet allows me a small evening meal (only Clear Liquids the day before surgery)' date=' but I'm thinking of going to all liquids for the final week. I want my liver to be as happy as possible when I'm in the operating room!

I have to travel home from San Diego to Charlotte NC after surgery. I've been thinking about what I'll be drinking while on the plane ride back, and wondering the best way to get Protein. Will my stomach be too tender for Protein Shakes? [/quote']

Are you from charlotte? I live in charlotte and was sleeved on the 6th

Had pre op visit on the 5th of Feb and surgery is scheduled for the 27th!! Im not to happy about my surgery. I have a lapband and during the surgery my doc messd my stomach up so I HAVE to have the sleeve...But got to thinking about it...On the plus side I dont have to do fills anymore and wont have to worry about a foreign body in side me screwing up anymore!!! I guess Im mpre upset that I have to do another surgery...Scared and afraid of things that can happen with this sleeve...I really havent done alot of research on the sleeve like I did the lapband..lol guess all my esearch has lead me to were I a right now.Good Luck guys...Hope all Is well with all of you...I just need some major encouragement!!!

Starting pre-op diet today (1200 cal's a day). Surgery is scheduled for 2/22. Only have physical and final blood work to do. The EGD left me with a sore throat, which only lasted two days. Hard to concentrate on anything else.

      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.
