Scheduled for October 3rd in Denver. I almost had to wait for December due to work but my boss made an exception for my time off. I'm like a giddy school girl now lol

I'm in Denver also, well Aurora, but I'm a year out, if you need anything, feel free to me. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm sure I will have plenty of questions come up along the way. It is so nice to have a support system in place.

I am waiting on insurance approval... crossing my fingers. I jumped through all the hoops: 6 month supervised weight loss attempt. psych eval, TSH test, medical clearance, PT eval, etc. Not too bad looking at some of the other hoops some have had to jump through. Surgeon's office just sent my packet to insurance this week and they have 30 days to reply. I am looking at October - tentatively 10/7. As I said - crossing my fingers! From St/ Louis, MO

Hello fellow Halloweenie sleevers!! I can't wait! So excited to start my journey. I'm scared as hell too because of the dreaded "first 30" but I'm starting to preparation ahead of time. I'm cleaning out my closest tomorrow and I couldn't be happier. No more fat summer clothing for me! Is it just me or is anyone else getting in the farewell to foods? I've been trying to find the best way to prep for Protein intake. I was thinking of roasting some turkey and a pot roast (no potatoes) and throwing them in my blendtek with home made chicken stock and making it into paste and filling ice cube trays with it? Also freezing chicken stock in a separate tray. All I have to do for meals is microwave 2 cubes and add a teaspoon of greek yogurt. Sorry I'm rambling :-(

I know what you mean about farewell to some foods. I'm really going to miss corn and eating bread, especially when I go to the Cheesecake Factory and eat from the bread they give you (yummy). But it's time to give up old habits :-D I look up different Protein shakes but I haven't tried any yet. I hope I can find one that tastes good. I've heard that the unjury is not that bad and chike is good as well. Good luck with everything!

My farewell to fat food fest is in full swing. I'm saying goodbye with pizza comas and tiramisu highs. I wont even pretend that i didnt enjoy splitting a mellow mushroom "holy shitake" pizza with my husband wednesday. I paid dearly for that farewell party.

Now how to adequately say so long to our twice monthly church dinners is a whole other story. These little SC ladies add extra butter, sugar and love to everything they didn't already cook in fatback. The idea of sitting through these and not hurting myself is a little sad.

For anyone living near a publix grocery, their store brand green wise chocolate whey powder is pretty good and inexpensive.

I'm thinking of juicing veggies and an apple or carrot or two and adding in a scoop of unflavored Isopure Protein and drinking coconut Water. I'm going to lay low the first month of course but I really am excited about being able to work out... I've never been athletic and it's a huge goal for me. Besides wearing 5" heels and an adrianna papell dress it's imperative that I get to play sports and ride my bike for 20 miles. I know this isn't happening anytime soon but I'm so worried about energy. I feel like getting this sleeve means cutting out the ball and chain holding me back on life. Sorry rambling again.

      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.
