I'm on here every waking moment. Getting psyched and looking at success stories and photos getting advice and learning. I think I'm going crazy with this waiting game. Just my NUT visit and chest xray to go and i am done! I am having gallbladder removed on Friday and I'm scared. I've never had surgery before. Guess this will help with the sleeve surgery as far as not being a stranger to having surgery. I feel like July will never come. Time feels like it's standing still.

I just had my gallbladder removed 8 months out from sleeve surgery. I was in and out same day. It will give you a little training for the sleve surgery. Well it was similar for me. Good luck and wish you a speedy recovery.

Good luck. My boss had lap band and often says she wished she had the sleeve. She paid out of pocket.

      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.
