Hi,

Looking to find some people have surgery around the same date as me! Hoping we can go through this process together and talk about our experience along the way!

I'm in Ontario Canada. I'm 50. I start my preop diet tomorrow - I get sleeved June 30 by Dr. Pompa in Mexico.

I'd be happy to share my personal e-mail if everyone would like to start a support group.

@@mrbobb, I hope all is well and you're enjoying your day. How did your 3 hour pre op class go? You said you had a lot of questions, anything you can share with us? Thanks.

The pre op class was very good. The nutritionist was awesome. She basically went through all the things we'll be able to eat and how to prepare them up until our 3 week post op appointment. The servings sizes look like a thimble full of food. That scares me a little bit because it's like will I feel weak or sick etc. she assured me as long as I follow the plan nausea should be minimal. I'll see how that goes. I'm ready to take on the new way of life. I'm starting to plan now so I won't be freaking out the day I come home.

      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.
