I was hoping for May but my surgeon's office said that would probably be a stretch. I will most likely get a June date.

Ok June ppl lets get to know each other. I have been down this road once had the sleeve 9/26/12. I would like to share with you some of the tricks I learned.

1: Get a ninja blender Or a magic bullet It can make snowcones you just add Crystal light or Dasani Water drops to the ice Blend away and eat it with a Toddler or dessert spoon ;). Eat as many as you like all day and night huge help.

2: Start playing around with your preop diet now test it out for a day or two see how long you can do it. I did this 60 days before I had to do mine and by the time it was for real it was a walk in the park and I did not cheat :).

3: Start playing around with puréed food yep see what's good now. I did this found some good things was a lot easier and less of a struggle when it came to what do I eat it wasn't foreign or new to me because I tried it out first. chicken breast gravy blended up. Hormel turkey chili little bit of cheese blend it. Fat-free refried Beans plain Greek yogurt green sauce packet from Taco Bell little cheese blended up.

4: Start taking all of the required Vitamins now.

5: Protein protein and more protein Don't buy a lot of it your taste buds will change. For the first two or three months after surgery by only sample packs or small sets of protein Again your taste buds will change.

6: Start making a walk routine now. Walk 3 times a day for 10 mins each time. By the time you are done you will have a 30 min walk in.

7: If you smoke stop smoking now this was hard for me to. Soda pop drinkers you might want to cut back coz like smoking Cold turkey Sucks. These two take some time to work out of your life . Ok that's all I have ATM I hope this will help all of us June ppl to have a leg up and do the best we can do :)

P.s yes I know my typing sucks its this iPhone I think it hates me :) lol

      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.
