Anyone else scared bleepless...or is it just me?

Thank you, @Urbanlamb. I am pleased to be your sleeve twin. :)

Same goes for the rest of you August 18 twins: @@CrystalJae @@Amarie812 @@kgunchic @@CaroJoy @New_nana @@billw0917 @Imscls and @lindseyzzzme.

That's 92 people in August -- so far. That's a lot of lives that will be changed.

It is beginning to hit me what courage it takes for each of us to take this step.

Yay! It's good to have people in the same stage as I am. Happy to share with you all

I don't even have anything other than a tentative date yet and I'm scared. This is a big step but I know it's the right one for me.

I was fine until my insurance approved and I got the date lol. Now I'm a bag of extremely mixed emotions. I guess it also didn't help that I watched a video of the surgery online.

Urbanlamb, I'd worry about anyone who was carefree about this surgery.

It's a big damn deal for me.

Getting it on the calendar makes it REAL.

      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.
