My pre-op diet is only 5 days. I'm surprised to see pre-op diets all the way up to two weeks!

Us April sleevers need to be more familiar with each other!! So here's my intro:

My name is Sabrine and I am 36 yrs old. I am married for six years now. I've been having weight issues all of my life. Highest weight ever in high school was 374 pounds. Then I lost 200 pounds using ephedra. Once they yanked that off the shelves I slowly gained most of the weight back. Starting this journey December 30, 2013 my weight was 326 pounds. Began going to all of my doctors appointments and my preoperative tests. And I made my own personal lifestyle changes in preparation for the sleeve. Current weight is 279 pounds. My date is April 21, 2014. I have no home support for this whatsoever. My husband is against it as well as my sisters and my mother. I'm nervous scared and excited. I have two amazing kids Jackson is four and Olivia is 15 months. I'm having some serious second thoughts about this since I am losing weight and seeing results. I think I've bitched about it to anybody who will listen. Lol. Okay. Now it's somebody else's turn. What's your story???

Well nice to meet u. That's really messed up not to have support at a time that makes u so happy and will change ur life so dramatically.

I don't anticipate a great response either from family as their judgements are usually most harsh but I just have my husband/best friend of 18 years and our 16 year old one and only. There all I need but with 8 sisters and 5 brothers u would hope I could feel comfort somewhere there.

Either way I started my journey in Aug at 277 with my highest weight of 290. After 8 long months of meeting requirements, I finally got approved 3-25. I have my first appointment with the surgeon 4-11 and hoping to get my preferred date of 4-24!

I've researched my poor brain to death...now I just wan.a go and get it done already!!!! I'm beyond ready...

I am 47 and have been overweight since I had my first child at 22!! I have been up and down but usually stayed pretty steady at 270! I lost 100 pounds when I was 28 with weight watchers but gained it all back in a year! I have been yoyoing since! I am not a junk food junkey I just over eat! I was thinking about the lap band years and years ago until a friend at work got it and had a lot of trouble with it. Then last year two girls from work got sleeved an did really well and had no problems with it. I decided I was ready!! I went to the information meeting in feb 4th.. Met with the surgeon on feb 7th got approved by insurance the following week... Was given my date of April 23rd ... Have had all the testing done... Lost 20 lbs down to 250.... Set to see the surgeon this Friday to weigh in and go to hospital for pre op stuff. Getting really excited!! Not nervous at all!! I have a lot of support from family and friends! Have experimented with different Protein Shakes and have found I like Chike the best! I've been reading every post I can to prepare myself and talking with my two co workers who are very supportive as well! I am really looking forward to being able to eat a small amount and feel satisfied! I'm having my surgery in NY Saratoga with Doc Baranov!! That's my story! Haha kinda boring but that's it! My pre op diet is three days before liquid diet so Easter is being skipped this year! Haha

      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.
