Yesterday was first day of pre-op diet and I thought it went well. Around 10 pm I noticed a rash on my neck and face and it continued today.

Went to the dr and he thinks I'm allergic to the whey in my shakes. Ordered a new type w/o whey but what a pain in the a$$.

On a positive note I lost 2 lbs.

To all my sister/brother Dec. 2nd sleevers! OMG!!! Before I start I'd like to say "Thank you God" for this support group. Okay, so I just came from my post-op appointment and finally meet my surgeon. That's another OMG! He was so tall, handsome, great personality and what a hand shake! I'm so glad that my husband wasn't with me:) Everything is set and on track. I start my liquid diet on Monday. 3 Protein shakes and liquids:( I'm not too much worried about Thanksgiving. My plan is to send my husband and son down the street to the neighbors for dinner. I'll take myself to the movies during dinner. It actually feels good to not have to worry about stuffing myself silly and then regretting it the next day. Then after my regrets I stuff away again. Not anymore. Too all of my Dec. 2nd's whose already started your liquid diet, Hang in there!

Here We Go!

Hello! I am getting sleeved on Dec 3rd I just got confirmation yesterday. Was instructed to start my liquid diet that day. I was unable to get everything to start liquid on such short notice so I started it today. It has been a long day.

I am excited, and scared, and nervous, and oh gosh really just a big ball of emotions, a big ball of hungry emotions! Lol

Happy to have found fellow Dec sleevers!

So glad my surgery time was moved from 4pm to 12pm on the 2nd. While I would prefer an earlier time, this will work.

That was one good thing about making my appointment back in September - I got to claim the first surgery time :) I had no desire to sit around and wait.

I went to my last PCP appt today (actually finished my 6-month supervised diet with PCP in Oct but due to delays with processing I had to keep going until surgery) and I was down another 14.5 lbs!! I've lost 33.5 lbs since starting this journey in March! Super excited for my Dec date to get here!

      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.
