Yesterday, I began my pre-op classes which will end at the end of July and so, I am expecting a surgery date in August 2014. That seems so far away right now, but I'd like to jump in feet first from the start. I'm looking forward to sharing and supporting each other in this journey!

I'm scheduled for August 4 with Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallerta. I've been reading "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" and just working on preparing mentally and emotionally. I am fortunate that a good friend is traveling with my to be my encourager and supporter.

Hello All :) I'm Michelle ( my family calls me Micky). This is my first post. I just wanted to say Hiiiiiii.

My surgery date is set for August 25 @ OCC and I'm so excited. A big decision but I am so ready to

change my life style. The nutritionist tells me I need to aim for a total loss of 26lbs before surgery

(found that out this morning) so its a good thing I started my day with a Protein shake LOL

Anyhow I just wanted to say hi. I look forward to getting to know all of you as we embark on this journey together,

So I completed my sleep study and failed- now working in that. Also getting nutritional -psych and those appointments taken care of-

      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.
