Hi again,

I am going to the pre-op class on the 22nd. I will be up on Martha's VIneyard on the 12th. I know, poor me. I live about 15 minutes from FP so that works out well. I am going to start going to the support groups at FP. Our start weights and goals are about the same, too!

I completely forgot about the holidays. We Celebrate everything since my husband is Jewish and I'm Christian. I'll get a pass on the High Holidays, but Thanksgiving with my southern family and Christmas are giving me the willies.

I had mine done the 17th at Valley by Dr gritsus. I'm already down 20 lbs. Good luck to your surgery. The bariatric floor and nurses were amazing

we can meet up at Garden State Plaza Mall. I really don't need to shop I have a lot of clothes from losing with the Lapband. I lost 135 lbs with the Lapband. I have gained 50 lbs back. So I am hoping with the sleeve I can get back into my size 12's.

      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.
