Last week I started the process for the sleeve surgery! At first I wanted the lap band only knowing about that and the bi-pass and the doctor talked to me about the sleeve and she felt it would be the best choice for me! So things are moving pretty quick I had my psych eval on Thursday and that went great! Today I had an ultrasound on my gallbladder and Wednesday I have my nutrition eval and a consultation for an EGD I'm so excited to get this going!!

I attended the seminar a week ago and they said someone would be calling to set up an appointment with the surgeon in about two weeks. Guess what?! They called me today & my first appointment is next week! Whoo boo! I sure hope everything goes this fast.

Today I had my consultation for me EGD (scope) and my nutritional evaluation both went great! My EGD was scheduled for July 30th but I got a call this afternoon and they moved it up to July 9th!! This makes me excited and nervous/ anxious then after that all I have left is to lose 10lbs and attend a nutrition seminar!!

      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.
