I am Sept. 8, just 4 days away! I am doing great with the preop diet, except for a daily minor headache. I am on day 4 of diet and it's not too bad. The hardest part is cooking good dinners for the family and I don't eat them. I am doing 3-4 shakes a day with a veggie and Protein. Think I've lost 8 lbs. already! Hang in there, you and me both!!!!!

I started my diet today. I had to purchase the bars, pudding and shakes from my doctor's office. I was told to have 4 of the items per day. so I plan to have 2 shakes and 2 bars. I can still have lean meat and veggies. So I know that will balance things out. I pray that I can stay full.

I too am scheduled for September 30th. I have one more test to

complete and am waiting for insurance approval. Needless to say I am

nervous, scared, anxious, ready, etc. I am looking for support also. Even though I am a registered nurse, I am not a bariatric nurse I have done a lot of research and will continue to talk with everyone who has done this surgery. I am a sponge, I need answers. I want to know the whys, hows, etc. I am anxious to go through this journey with each of you.

Good Luck to us all!!!

I was sleeved September 1st and oddly I felt no pain from the surgery. However I had the worst acid reflux and one of my incisions opened today which was scary.

Hey September sleevers!! I'm not schedule until the 26th however, this Sunday I'm cleaning out my closet right now separating all the clothes that I NEVER want to wear again 16-20 and the ones that I haven't worn in years 8-12! Also I purchased a pair of size 6 jeans (my personal goal for my 4"11 small frame) from a store that's going out of business clearance rack $10.00.... I really want to part with shoes too but um.... I'll wait I have shoe sizes ranging from 6-8!!! And that's including half sizes!! I'm excited for EVERY newbie here on these forums!:)

Hello All!

Scheduled for 9/29. I have pre-op on 9/15 and one last psych visit on 9/16.

Went away for the weekend with my hubby and let's just say I had fun (French Toast sticks and a small waffle for breakfast) I don't have to do a pre-op diet really except 2 days before where I have to be on full liquids but after the fun I had I am going to try shakes and a bar as Meal Replacement as well as veggies and Protein for dinner this week so I have a good weigh in for pre-op.

Good luck to everyone! I am especially enjoying the post-op check ins!

      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.
