Ok, sleeve family, I have been told that my date was Aug 23 and then found out that my doctor does not do surgery on Fridays. This is good because that is my anniversary so my hubby is happy but then they tell me the 22nd but by the time she responds back someone has taken my date. So, now my date as been put on the books as 29th of August. So I will be crossing over on Aug. 29th. I am so happy about it and cant wait. I should receive an email by Tuesday with all the information on what I should do at this point. I want to say congrats to all who have a date and to those who are still waiting good luck on your date and make it soon.

August 16th here! I think I'm the only one for that date so far. I am excited but so scared at the time same time. I know some of you feel the same way. What helps you work through those feelings of fear?

Hey, Mocha2871, maybe I'll see you! You planning to go to the support group there? I'd like to, but it's a bit far for me (I'm in Oak Park).

Got the date! August 13th! Have to start my job Aug 19th though! I was hoping for an earlier date in August! I work as a school counselor and kids won't be at school that first week so I am hoping low key week and I can manage it. From most accounts, without complications, people feel a lot better by that 3rd week out. I think I can...I think I can...anyone else August 13th or having to get back to work sooner than hoped?

      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.
