Met with Dr Juarez today, didn't get much done..he kept saying if my "insurance" didn't approve me for the sleeve they would do the bypass....I go thru the V.A. and am already approved for the sleeve, I don't want the bypass....but he kept saying this over and over he wasn't listening at all......then did my 101 class which was a waste of time for me as I have already learned all of this stuff thru these boards lol then I have thier 201 class on the 4th and suppose to have surgery 2 weeks after so I'm guessing around the week of the 14th I'm all like let's do it today already!!!!

talked to my NUT today who coordinates everything with the VA and St Lukes she said they will do the tests soon and have me scheduled probably the week of the 18th of Feb for the sleeve not the bypass

      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.
