I just had my sleeve operation on 11/11/13. The prep diet for 2 weeks was tough but doable because I new it was something I had to do to have the surgery. Surgery day was tough, not so much the pain - they took care of that whenever I asked, just sore, tired and weak. Every day has been better and today I almost feel normal. Good luck to you in the next month or so. It goes by fast. Just keep in mind how much we wanted this. Robyn

Hi Missyt. I am pretty new myself and hoping for a February Date. I am tentatively scheduled for Feb 11th but I still have a lot of things to get done to meet the insurance requirements so I guess it will happen when it happens. I am currently on the supervised weight loss required by the Insurance company. This is a long slow process and though some people think it passes quickly... I feel like I'm on the slow roll. Good luck with everything and hope to see you around the boards.

I don't have a date yet just tentatively set for January so it could be the 1st to the 30th! EDG or EGD set for December 18th not required for insurance but dr requires it to make sure the other 20% of my stomach is good!

      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.
