Hi kelzz27: Congratulations on your journey. I wish you the best of luck. If there are any questions I can help you with please let me know. Monday is my big day. I'm excited and nervous. Which doctor did you choose for your procedure? I went with Dr. Julie Kim. She is very nice.:)

Hi everyone. I had a band with Dr. Lautz (who was at Brigham and Women's at the time) in 2007. Kept off 56 pounds, but the band slipped and I had a lot of problems with it. Decided to go for a sleeve revision, and I'm scheduled on December 9 at Salem Hospital/North Shore Medical Center with Dr. Benedetto. So far, been thrilled with the way they've handled things. I'm just finishing my first week of Carnation Essentials sugar free Instant Breakfast. I'm glad to meet everyone on this group.

      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.
