A few weeks ago I was really stressed. Now that I have a date I'm oddly calm about it. I also prayed about it. Asked if it was the right decision for me and that I'd not have any life threatening complications, to help me feel calm about my decision. So far so good!

May 1st here in Houston,TX. On day 5 of preop diet. Down 13lbs since Tuesday morning. Down 21lbs since started on the journey.

When I was scheduled for Lap-Band I was very anxious and could not calm down. Now that I'm having the sleeve instead I'm very calm and feel it's the right decision.

Well Cindy, I'm scheduled for my band to sleeve revision (after already replacing the band once almost 7 years ago) on May 11th, so I couldn't agree more that you're making the right decision going with the sleeve instead of the band!! lol Had the sleeve been an option (at least one that I was aware of) back in '06, I could have avoided a whole lot of wasted time and money!! ;) Best of luck!!!

Aspiring-Thank you. The more I read the more I hear stories like yours. I am self-pay, so I have to make the right decision first. The main reason I did change to sleeve is reading all the posts on this site. Thank The Lord for this site. What a blessing. You guys are helping so many people.

      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.
