Hey there Kimkai! :-) my pre-op is tomorrow too and I'm not fully approved yet. Still waiting. :-( but they have me doing everything as though I was. :-) IF I'm a go, I'm on the 19th too! It's a bummer not knowing as they 1st said I was and I already celebrated BUT, whatever the outcome, I know it will eventually happen. Staying positive! Keep us posted. :-) And best of luck!

One more week!!!! Super exited! Question...anyone with daughters preeteen/teen??? What are they saying about the surgery? I do have to say the only thing I worry about is that my daughter who has weight issues will think this is an easy way out. I didn't even tell my 8yr old daughter yet...any thoughts??

Being sleeved on the 18th got date on the 8th so I'm only on day 5 of the shrinking diet.....I want artichoke dip with chips soooo bad. I'm starting to feel hungry but the first 3 days were a breeze. I do find that miso Soup and Jello curb the hunger somewhat. Any other tips?

I am having mine done in Towson, MD. My spreadsheets with my eating schedules for all of the stages are done. for me it helps to keep me on track, i am such a scatter brain most of the time... im just so afraid I will lose my hair.

I had my pre op information session and i feel overwhelmed but not as freaked out. The one thing that shocked me was when they told us .. if in the future we get sick and throw up like the flu or something, that we will have to start the next meal with a clear liquid, then onto full liquid then pureed, soft. FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES... lol we all started looking around at eachother and i thought " please, NOBODY get up and run from the room cause i will be on your heels" thankfully we all made it lol.

they said that our serving size will be 1/4 cup.... ahhhh it was the true first time during the pre op that i felt so hungry, i was ready to knaw my arm off.

on another note, i am so freaking excited again, i cant stand the wait.

6 days left everyone!

      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.
