So it looks like it will be in May that I will be having my sleeve surgery, as I have to see their endocrinologist and he is booked up until May. My appointment with him is May 8th, I have an appt with the surgeon on March 18th and could have had the surgery in March if the endo was so booked up. I am on the cancellation list for him. So I am hoping there will be a cancellation as I really wanted to get this surgery done before summer. My daughter is getting married this summer and would be nice to wear a nice dress that isn't a plus size.

Do you think there is still a chance I could wear a normal size dress before her wedding in Aug if I have my surgery in May?

Thanks for listening :)

I too am a may sleever as of now. today I had to cancel a nutritionist appointment because she is booked up until april for my FIRST appointment, meaning it would be june before I qualify for surgery and up until july before I would receive final approval! no way. I found instead a nutritionist who is giving me a first appointment this Friday instead :) so my 2nd appointment will be in march and my third in april...freeing me up for surgery in may.

I too am hoping to be smaller by august. while everyone is different, I am almost sure you'll be in better control and understanding of your new body, and hopefully will be looking great and feeling great in time for your daughters wedding!

yay, it's nice to have a fellow may sleever in the bunch! :)

      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.
