You guys are probably tired of hearing from me, but I'm so glad I found this forum. It has really helped me stop freaking out and realize my struggle is shared. I was wondering if any of you have read any good books on the vertical sleeve? The more I know the better I feel.

Thank you! I'm still leaning my way around the forum.

Yeah, me too. I am learning to search for information though. I am finding that most of my questions have already been asked/answered.

Happy reading!

Well I did search but I guess I didn't scroll down far enough. Lol. I'm on the iPhone app so I don't see as much at a time as I would on the pc. I figure no harm in asking again! Lol good luck on your journey.

I went to Amazon and searched vertical sleeve kindle books...they send you a free am sample to your kindle app on iPhone. I read the sample and then decide if I want to read more before I buy them. I must have a dozen on there that I like. Happy reading!!

      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.
