Hey guys well I started doing this whole process May 18 2012 and still have not gotten surgery as of yet. It will be a year soon but I'm praying to god that by the end of May beginning of June I will finally be able to get sleeved. My setback was not having my sleep study done in time. I had to switch over from surgeons and now I'm my doctor is Dr. Bagloo of Valley Hospital. All I need to do now is get my CPAP machine and then I will finally be able to schedule my surgery date with her. Fingers & toes crossed that this all goes well.

thats a great character to have regardless - but having patience with the sleeve is terrific :)

don't stare at the scale, don't get upset when you have a stall (we all have them)

glad things are coming together :)

having had to wait so long for WLS - you will be very appreciative when your new big day finally comes!!! :)

crossing my fingers, toes, and nose (what a site!! :lol: )

good luck

      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.
