Don't let that stop you, your just about a week away from having the surgery. It will be hard but you will do good. Your journey is only beginning......

Congrats on your approval.

I am also October 1st. I still can't believe I am doing this. My dr. Told me to try Pilates after I'm well enough to help with the skin. My all liquid diet starts Sunday. Is anyone else as nervous as I am?

I remember that feeling well! It seemed like I was cramming for a test or pop quiz trying to learn all I could about the sleeve, what to expect, ect. I know you will be fine because you came to the right place to learn (well here and youtube rather). Your day will be here before you know it! Best of luck to you!

      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.
