Hello all. I'm new to the site looking to beef up my support system to keep me focused on my new way of life. My sleeve date is scheduled for 04/04/13. I'm beyond excited for so many reasons. I want to be as open and honest with myself and others about my journey so I can be successful in conquering the lifelong battle of the bulge. I love reading everyone's threads to learn more about what's to come. Looking forward to making friends.

Thank you ladies. I'm so pumped. I know it's an entire lifestyle change and a commitment to be healthier but I'm ready. I've joined another online forum and I've learned so very much. The support and encouragement has been amazing. I feel like an idiot but I just can't stop thinking/talking about my surgery. The stories and pictures are so inspiring.

Forgive my ignorance but I'm using the iPhone app to this site. How do you "friend" someone. Also for all my fellow Texans, who are your surgeons?

I am on my iPad now, and I don't think you can add friends on the mobile apps. If we can, I havent figured it out either. :/. Once you get to a computer, click on a persons profil pic to go to their profile. In the top right will be an "Add as friend" button.

I am using Dr. Stowers with My Bariatric Solutions. I am so impressed with the care and attention from the first time you ever contact them. I highly recommend them!

      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.
