I had lapband in 2011 and changed to the sleeve in December of 2012.

How exciting!! it's creeping up for you!

Yes, Just scheduled my surgery 2 days ago. I'm going to Juarez. I'm very nervous, and to think, I wanted to have surgery this month, but couldn't get time off from work. I feel very alone. Like this is not going to work for me, that i'm not going to be able to change the way I eat. I have very little support. I have chosen not to tell very many people. I can't talk about my concerns with my husband, he does not understand. it's like to big elephant in the room he has chosen to ignore. A friend of mine had this surgery almost 2 years ago, and has done very well. I have asked her a lot of questions, but hate to keep bugging her, I'm going to the same Dr. she went to. she has made it sound so easy, but I continue to doubt myself. So I will continue to follow this forum, enjoy the holidays, and pray that the same new years resolution I make every year will actually become reality.

this forum has been a lifesaver for me. I couldnt imagine not having my boyfriend support me. I am very thankful that he does.

as for missing the chili,, I do! I miss the mountains the most though :(

      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.
