Today I tried the Swanson Infused broth Mexican Tortilla, and really, really disliked it.

Oh no - I bought this too, and the Thai Ginger one.... I hope I like them...

sounds like you have had a lot of different ones to find out if you like them or not - wonder if after surgery they will taste different to you as I have read on here from others?

Good luck to all the Sleevers today and this week, wishing the best and prayers sent!

A friend of mine said not to spend too much money pre-op as the Protein Shakes she liked before, she disliked afterwards so I am just trying to get small samples for now and will wait til after to make big purchases.

I agree. I didn't buy any to try. I bought these for my 2 week preop. They had such good reviews, I thought that's all I needed. Glad my friend let me sample the Unjury before buying it.

Very possible I won't like the Unjury after surgery but I hope I do!

The Swanson stuff smelled amazing! I was surprised that it tasted so different. I could see how it would be amazing in a Soup, just didn't like it by itself.

So, I was laying in bed last night feeling anxious - .a couple of deep breaths in and out - and it passed quickly. Thank goodness - in another 13 days it may not pass so easily. Thinking about this weeks group and hoping they can all go in relaxed and come out feeling great!

MinWin had taken over updating the list but she went away for the holiday and I was working. I will have a busy week but if MinWin doesn't get to it, I will.

I have returned home from traveling and am exhausted, but updating the list is my number one priority tomorrow morning. It's been a very long travel day and I have to do some unpacking, but I will make sure the updated list is out there in the morning.

Also, if you are participating on the pounds lost thread, I have received your goal pounds and will personally confirm with each of you in the morning! Thanks for your patience!

I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. This process has taken me a year and a half due to so many issues but it's finally here! I have to be there for 6am for my 7:30 surgery. I'm incredibly nervous but also excited. I'm going to try to go to bed early since I'm such a worrier I'm just driving myself crazy! It would mean a lot if you guys could keep me in your thoughts and prayers! And best of luck to the rest of tomorrow's sleevers!

Whew, I had a few minutes before work and figured I could update the list. I was in a hurry so I may have missed folks or messed up in other ways.

If anyone sees any errors, let me know!

Hello Everybody! I would like to join the December 2013 sleevers group.

My name is Tiffany. I am 32 years old, a wife, and a mother of a beautiful little girl.

I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/10/2013 and I am super nervous. I have been debating the surgery for over 3 years. I have finally come to the realization that I cannot lose the weight on my own... I went through all of the insurance requirements to be approved for the sleeve, then backed out... Now, I am here to finally follow through with the surgery.

I work as a clinical quality/risk manager in a hospital, so I am super duper freaked out about being that one-in-a-million where something goes horribly wrong. I am getting better and better each day though. My family is being SO AWESOME in their support of me.

I look forward to going on this journey with each of you.

Tiffany

Hey Tiffany -- I'm 31 and scheduled to sleeve on the same day as you -- dec 10!! good luck!!

      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.
