I know you'll be coming down here to Florida soon, Disney is a blast. I was in 3 coasters today at Busch Gardens with my fearless granddaughter, Katie; Cheetah Hunt, The Scorpion, and Sheekra, all gut-wrenching screamers. Could not fit in the seats pre-sleeve, slid right in today.

Empowerment ahead! :)

16 days out from having my lap band removed and sleeve done. I am so pleased with the way it feels when i eat. The food goes all the way down into my stomach and doesnt get stuck in my throat leaving me feeling frustrated and unfullfilled. Best thing i ever did! I had the revision done because i started having enormous amounts of reflux after 3 years with the lap band. If I kept the band loose i didnt have the reflux but i started gaining my weight back. I had the revision done before i gained it all back. my wt was 198 and i'm down to 185 in 16 days. wish i would have had the sleeve done in the first place.

      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.
