Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while and want to say that y'all helped me to decide to do go forward with the sleeve.

I had my psych eval and surgeon's consult both yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for 08/26. I'm kinda freakin' out but I got this.

Thanks for sharing your stories and your experiences they are a tremendous help to those of us just starting on this trip!

FINALLY someone from northern MS!! I couldn't figure out where you all were lurking! I suspect we may have the same surgeon (Wagner) because I had my consult and got my surgery date yesterday as well. I'm a week before you -August 19th- and am excited and petrified at the same time (first surgical anything). Praying that all goes well and keep y'all posted.

Lurking is right! I've been lurking in all the forums trying to absorb all the info I can. I'm in the same boat as you, first surgery of any kind so I'm scared and excited at the same too. King is my surgeon. Wish you all the best. Please keep me posted on your progress.

      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.
