My surgery is April 8 and it seemed like it was still way out there until I got the email with all my pre-op apps and took a look at how many weekends I have left to get everything done and ready! Glad there is a group of us all doing it around the same time. Nice to be able to vent/ stress with folks in the same boat !

I'm getting mine done April 8th, start my pre-opt diet Monday! I'm nervous, excited and scared all in one! Of course I am scared of the surgery and the fear I won't wake up (sure it's natural to feel that way), and scared and nervous of the pain. Scared and nervous that I'll have complications, and excited because if all those things I fear doesn't happen, I'll have a new life! I'm keeping my mind on the "I'm getting a new life" lol. .

I'm scheduled for April 5th and I share the same feelings. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time.

looks like there's quite the group of us getting sleeved on April 8 (Curvey, KatieOkieDokie, Happy01, me - who am I missing?)

I finally got around to trying a protien shake this weekend. OMG.. it was horrible! My husband picked it up at the Vitamin Shoppe - brand was Robb something maybe? The brand didn't look familiar to me at all from posts on here, so I'm hoping that means that the others everyone talks about really are better!!

I have not tried any of them yet.. I really need to be sampling to find the best kind since that will be my life for a couple of weeks. I was very glad to see this page created so that I can keep up with some of the others that are very close to me. I am just curious how many are having the surgery in the states or in Mexico?

      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.
