I'm having mine done on August 19th' date=' and an incredibly excited! I'm trying to be better about my eating (a big step for me, as I love junk food) and today when I realized I needed groceries, I put on the brand new walking shoes I bought yesterday, threw on my backpack, and walked a mile to the store! Whatever I purchased, I carried home on my back or in a bag. :) In this crazy heat, the sweat ran like rain, my friend! LOL!

Anyway, eating better and going to try to walk 45 min (at least) 5 days a week. :) I'm new to the site and would love some new friends to go through the process with too!

Good luck![/quote']

I'm also scheduled for the 19..I hope this goes by quickly!

Tjohnson322 - What is the group going to be called ?

I'm not sure! adr525 is who started the group, and I haven't been added yet. I'll let you know!

What does everyone's post-op diet look like? Here's mine:

Week 1 - Clear Liquids only

Week 2 and 3 - pourable "full liquids"

Week 4 and 5 - mushy soft foods

Then "new normal"

I need to email the NUT to ask if Unjury chicken Soup flavor is allowed during clear liquids.< /p>

Why do you start the liquid diet so early

My doctor was a little hestiant to do the sleeve instead of the bypass because of my weight. I have lost 15lbs over the last 8 weeks on my own, and she wants me to lose another 15lb to 30lbs before the surgery and figured the liquid diet would be the best way to do that.

I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper' date=' which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?[/quote']

Havent got a date yet...but getting close. Getting blood work done next week & the other tests..took me 4 months to lose 10lbs....also had to quit smoking...did that 7 weeks ago. Now im working on quitting diet coke...this is hard..

      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.
