My surgery is set for August 3rd. Excited.

@Patricia Sides-Morey, We are set for the same date. I am excited as well. @MoniqueMcCoy,@JasTacker1977, @ and @@carlasue, your dates are fast approaching as well. I wish all of you the best in your preparation and in the crucial days of being on liquid diet. This in itself will be a challenge. But one well worth it. Good luck to all and may you have a quick recovery and sucessful weightloss. Please do follow up and stay in touch.

LOL! This thread was started for August 2014 sleevers, not those being sleeved in August 2015.

Anyway ... if any of you newbies care, I was sleeved last year -- August 2014. I reached goal 3.5 months ago and have lost another 7 pounds. You're all going to do great -- if you make the effort to understand and follow your surgeons' instructions. Best wishes to you all. :)

I had mine August 6th and first time I have experienced nausea . Took a Pepcid and just hoping that helps this. Also have a little cough that won't go away. Last thing I need is a summer cold.

      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.
