So I find myself doing the last meal/last beer binge before the life-changing surgery on Jan 8th. food not so much as the beer. I'm not physically addicted but sure am habitually addicted. This is going to be a hard transitition but I'm dedicated and motivated to go to preop diet Monday the 6th. I hope I can reach out to you when I leave those beers behind. I met a new future sleeve buddy (Lucy) who gets surgery later in the month in Mexico. I look forward to sharing our experience/triumphs/failures with each other. Blessed be to all the Jan 2014 newly sleeved friends!!!

Cheers!

Deb

Do any of you have a specified amount of weight to lose before surgery? I was told I needed to lose 5% of my starting weight

      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.
