Any sleevers around this time or the exact date? I'll be having mine at Portsmouth Naval hospital in VA! I started this process in January so it moved pretty fast. It was originally in March. Ready to get this show on the road.

Yes it have kinda a battle with making sure everything was moving along . My paper work was summited on the 18th of jan. And I got approved march 5th for April 7th. I think it really haven't hit home yet. But I'm just buying a few extra things I might need. Plus I think I'm gonna let my mom put sum long braids in my hair so I won't have to deal with it.

Yea I started the process on Jan 2. My date was originally 3/27 but they changed it due to a conflict. I have locs in my hair so thank goodness I don't have to worry about that. The anxiety is kicking in the closer it gets. I start my 2 week liquid diet on 3/21.

I'm also April 4th! I feel like the closer I get the happier I feel that there is an end in sight. I know that the real work begins after the surgery, but just knowing that I made this choice for myself and that I am on the path to gaining some control makes me feel awesome! I keep thinking about which clothes I am going to get rid of first! Then I think about how great my knees are going to feel once 50lbs comes off. I am really, really excited and feel ready!

Congrats! Are you on your liquid diet yet? I'm on day 2 and I will say it's rough! Lol but so far so good. Praying for strength for the remaining 12 days. I have to remind myself this is a lifestyle change and I'm preparing now for it. If I can't handle this how will I be able to manage my new stomach. So it's training as well as surgery prep for me.

I only have to do 7 days but I'm starting tomorrow. How are you doing with it? Mine consists of 1 Protein Shake a day, low calorie yogurt, sf Jello and pudding, and broth.< /p>

I would kill to only have to do 7 days lol. I'm doing ok actually. The hardest part is cooking for the kids and I can't eat. I have to do 5 shakes a day. And I can only do clear broths, sf jello, sf pops, Decaf tea. The 5 shakes of Protein do keep me satisfied for about 2-3 hrs.

      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?

      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.
