Congrats, that is great news, and only a 34 days to go, you must be so excited.

I was due to have my sleeve oct9th 2012 but had my op cancelled due to my blood not clotting quick enough, 3 days before, and every month since have thought it could be next month, and am hoping that i will be joining the march sleevers with you this march.

Will you be doing the milk and yoghurt pre op or the 800 cal food diet ?

I did the 800 cal diet last time because i am diabetic, and will be doing that again, not looking forward to the first 3 days, i could have eaten my own fingers, lol, but by the 4th day was into it and ok, i will try and keep a lookout for your progress, Janet, x

My date Is March 1! I am doing the pre-op for three weeks and I am now on my 3rd day. I had to laugh because it was so true, on the 2nd day I could've eaten my own fingers! Today is a little better, and hopefully just gonna get better as time goes on.

Hi all, I'm from Australia and have my sleeve op on 8th March as well. I have just started my 2 week prep and I am doing night shift as well. I think I was crazy doing nights and the pre op prep. Here in Australia you have to go on Optifast for 2 weeks 3 x day & have one meal of salad. It's going to be a hard task but I've just completed day 1 and am at work (it's night time here 04.30 hrs). Thanks for listening to me and good luck to everyone booked in for March. Cheers Aussie????

Good luck with your surgery Ladydawag2009. I'm being operated on the same day and I'm looking forward to a journey all about me. That's why I'm doing this as I'm 50 later in the year and I want my weight to be a Healthy BMI of 26. Got a long way to go to get there but I'm on my way now to achieving it ????

      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.
