Well, as it turns out, I haven't gained approval yet, so the 16th is definitely out for me. In fact, it's unlikely it will happen here in December at all.

Best of luck to you all next week and in the coming weeks!

Hi I'm getting sleeved on the 16th also. I'm so nervous today that I'm sitting here eating something that's definitely not on my liquid diet! Good luck everyone.

On Monday I will be at the hospital at 5:15 a.m. - happy for the early time - better to get up and get it over with! I'm in NC - so weird to think that people all over the country are feeling some of the same feelings I am!

Good luck to you all!

Ready for Monday! Was super busy at work today, thank goodness! Have to arrive to hospital at 5:30 am, it's 45 minutes from my house...not sure how much sleep I will get Sunday!

I cheated after getting home and had a slice of deli turkey... Chewed it to mush and thought of spitting it out too. Figured it couldn't do too much damage. Crossing fingers! This liquid diet has not been easy, but I have given it 98% and I think that isn't too bad! As of this morning I have lost 6 pds. Started liquids Monday morning!

Wishing all my fellow 16th sleevers a peaceful weekend and a good experience Monday!!! Get your toes done, but leave big toe unpolished for anesthesiologist!

My daughter is heading over to pick up the perishables and some crackers and such that are not going to be eaten!

My husband and mom will be at the hospital during and daughter will come when she gets out of work.

I had a headache every day for about a week when I started my pre-op diet. I read somewhere that if you eat a lot of carbs then stop that can cause headaches. I was a carboholic.

      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.
