I'll be your sleeve buddy! I'm having my sleeve on the 1st in Indy but am a buckeye at heart! I'll actually be in cbus the weekend before my surgery for my bridal shower and my best friend's baby shower! Will suck since I'll be on liquids only but am excited non the less! What hospital are you having it done at?

I have spent the past few minutes reading this thread... This journey is so exciting for me and its nice to see other people just as excited for themselves... I will have my date this week and have been told ill have surgery before the end of the month... Seems like the road here was a long one but its made me prepare mentally for this amazing change... What a fabulous summer we are all going to have ????

OMG see this is exactly what I am talking about... Here we are super supportive of our friends and they can't do the same for us what's wrong with that picture?! Frustrating!

July 1st with liquid diet starting June 24th...Went today for my pre-op. Dr Kim is my surgeon. I think I am going to have a "food" funeral say goodbye to those things I no longer wish to place in my body and embrace the new life I am going have~ Excited however; would be a liar if I did not say I am also nervous~

I got a call today. My date has been moved from July 8 to July 1. Anxiety is sitting in

Well isn't this a coincidence... My surgery was scheduled for the 2nd, now changed to the first. There will be a lot of sleeves done that day. Think it may be related to the Fourth of July and your Doc wants to make sure he/she can make all the cookouts!

I told some of my co-workers last week because they are like my family. Most were very supportive but now it's crickets. Maybe they are just worried. My hubby and I both researched this and feel good about my decision. That's all that really matters.

I love the idea of a food funeral. I did that with cigarettes when I quit smoking- it was very emotional. I'm excited and nervous too! I'm scheduled for the 16th.

My doctor's office called it the "farewell to food" tour, and they strongly discourage it. But I have seen to several restaurants and thought "won't be eating here for a year or more". :(

I KNOW it's the right decision, it's just a big decision, and that makes it scary!

      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.
