Hey fellow Sleevers!!

I just got my date...Drum roll please...July 24th!!! This was so unexpected when I went in for my post endoscopy today. I was expecting a phone call in a week or so, to go there and get the approval immediately was such a shock. I was so thrilled, I didn't know how to respond for a minute. I have a little bounce in my step now and I am so happy!!!!!! :D

Anyone else out there getting their sleeve on July 24th?

I'm July 24th too, glad to find more people with this date. My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet but I'm going to start shakes for Breakfast and lunch tomorrow and then do all liquid 2 days prior to surgery. I've been having so many food funerals I need to do it to get ready for the big change in eating!

Hello, my surgery is also scheduled on July 24. I just started the pre-op liquid diet yesterday, and it has been difficult, but not impossible. I can't wait until I can actually be around other people eating food! Can't wait to have the surgery!

I am having surgery on the 24 as well. So many emotions. Pre-op diet is not as impossible as I thought it would be but I am not following it perfectly, but not binging either. Good luck everybody!

I know what you mean, my days at work have been dragging! My 13 year old son tells me all the time that I'm impatient so this is really torturing me, lol.

      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.
