I mainly lurk on these forums. I have gained so much knowledge from you all. I just wanted to share with you all that I have a date for my sleeve!!

I go in on Feb 26th. I have the endoscopy the day before surgery.

I am soo weird... I was more scared to be put under anesthesia for my ankle surgery than I am now and having most of my stomach removed!! I know the nerves will come but right now I'm just excited!!!

Congratulations! You're going to be sleeved on my birthday, haha. My surgeon is Dr. Stowers too. I just had my phone consultation with him yesterday. He seems great. Definitely keep us updated on how it goes!

Dr Stowers is awesome. I had my EGD this morning and it was a piece of cake. The hospital staff I have interacted with are soo nice. Some of the hospital staff have had their WLS done by Dr. Stowers. I'm going in tomorrow at 7:30 for the sleeve!!!!

      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.
