I'm on July 5th as well! Getting nervous! Currently at 264, want to get down to 260 by surgery day. Have you started a Protein Shake diet yet?

I'm self pay in Mexico, so I'm on the low end of the BMI for sleeve spectrum. I don't need to do a pre-op, yay for me! I'm just so sick of the weight already.

I'm scheduled for the 5th. I started my liquid diet today. Going to bed hungry. Bought all my Vitamins today. My mom flies in to help take care of my kids on Monday. Last day of work will be Tuesday. The time can't go fast enough!

Yea! My doctor doesn't require the liquid diet until three days before surgery but I think I will start tomorrow because I've had a few too many "food funerals" this last week.????

Glad you are feeling better! Today was my rough day. The gas pain is excruciating! Pain meds help, but they make me nauseous. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

How are you other July 5thers feeling. I spent two nights in the hospital, rough but I am feeling so much better. Not having any problems getting down fluids or Protein. Energy level is low, abdomen is tight, but not on any pain meds.

Today is my first day without pain meds (so far). I also spent 2 days in the hospital and am glad I did. I was not ready to come home before that. I'm doing well now. Heading out for a walk in a moment. Meeting all my Water and Protein goals. I think I'm going to be sick of these liquids pretty soon though. Actually I'm already getting a little bored at home. I'm off until e 22nd so I gotta think of something fun to do.

      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.
