Hello my name is Stacy, I am 27 years old and I have decided to be sleeved about 2 months ago. I have gone to a couple of appointments so far, and things are moving right along. I am nervous about the whole process but I cannot back out, I know I will be better off in the long run. I don't have a surgery date yet, but testing is coming up soon. When I get my date I will share.

Good luck, Stacy! I just had my first appointment with my surgeon and have already scheduled appointments for the psychological evaluation and the NUT. I am excited, but not nervous.

Hi. New here too! I have my first appointment next week. My psy eval will be done on the 5 of November. sleep test on Friday night. I'm down 9 lbs... 5%... Is what my surgeon requires... So I have 6 more to go... I would like to have it done in November because due to other obligations it works out better that way. But I may have to have it before the end of the year because if insurance change. We will see what changes with our plan thanks to Obama care. Fingers crossed that the deductible stays the same but I doubt it. 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.
