I have a date of August 29th. I have not technically been approved yet, the paperwork was submitted as of last Tuesday. I really wanted August 13th, I am in school and it would have given me 10 days before I had to be back in class to get over that initial hump, without missing any class, but my surgeon took a two week vacation. I requested the first day after he gets back. It might mean a missed day of school, but I am just going to do it. Otherwise I have to wait until December. Let's go approval letter!

My husband and I are both being sleeved as well. :). Our date is August 3rd with dr.kelly. Who are y'all using?

We're going to Dr. Alvarez in Piedra Negras. I should probably be concerned about the surgery itself but i find myself worrying about the liquid diet bit more. Really if I could eat nothing but 4 Protein shakes a day, would I really need the surgery?? :P

I'm sure we'll get through it, but I worry about failing before I even start. Positive thoughts!

      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.
