Hi everyone so I'm going to be a September sleeve. I really can't wait. I'm so ready for it. It's been a long journey already started out with the band but had complications. Then went through the process for the sleeve and the coordinator said my insurance probably would decline it. Then right before vacation received great news they approved the sleeve. So now surgery set and preoperative history and physical to go. Also prep for the two week 1000 calorie diet. So excited and can't wait to start my new way of life.

I look forward to hearing about your process. I have my surgery on the 19th. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Please let's keep in touch. This is not an easy process and talking to someone that understands is always good.

I have been forcing myself. I take small sips and continue to drink until I am finished. I had two shakes which equals 60 grams. We just have to do what we have to do. We need to have the Protein to coat the Vitamins. I am here to give you encouragement.

      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.
