How is everyone preparing? Have you told your friends, family or coworkers. I have told very few people because I don't want anyone giving me added anxiety or reasons not to so it. The people I have told are supportive and that's enough for me.

You guys?

I agree. I have only told a few people. I have enough doubts and fears that I don't need anyone else adding to it!! Lol

I really am ready for a change!!

Tomorrow is a new day. Don't beat yourself up. If it makes you feel any better I am eating like I'm going to the electric chair!!! Many food funerals and I don't plan on stopping until my pre op liquid diet on 4/23.

Well, my surgery center called today and told me I could have my sleeve done April 29th or May 5th. I'm leaning towards the 5th. I'm just very concerned that my son's birthday is the 15th....only 10 days after and I have no idea how I'll be. :/

I had pizza tonight too! I've been very good with eating healthy the last 3 weeks and tonight I just needed a break. My date is May 6th also and I'll be starting my liquid diet April 22nd so I figure dinner tonight isn't all that bad in the grand scheme of things :) I hope the next few weeks go by faster than this week has though.

Hello,

I had my EGD Monday April 7th. It went well and they found a hiatal hernia so now my insurance is going to pay for a majority of my sleeve surgery. I am impatiently waiting for my surgery date. Fingers crossed for early May : )

The small amount of people I told are the ones I thought would support me however I only have this group and just a few people I've told, the rest I've told aren't happy I'm doing this, I guess they don't understand, oh well I'm happy for me and I have all of my bariatric family here which is plenty and enough for me! XOXO :D

      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.
