So near but yet feels so far away! Everyday I fight the urge to eat everything I shouldn't but I want this soooooo bad so I'll keep fighting

Hold strong, you can do this !! Think of all the things you will be able to do that you can't now????????

That's so close you can smell it!!

I have my endoscopy that day..

How's the pre op diet going?

1st few days were horrible... Lol headache, cranky, hungry. Once that passed I have been really good. I just think that I am soooo ready. I' been thinking about this seriously for 5 years, I went to this doctor 5 years ago and decided not to do the bypass because of my medical issues ( I have Ulcerative Colitis, ugh) now that the sleeve is a proven safe method I jumped back in. Started in May for my monthly visits and now I have 2 days left????. Aren't you just bursting with anticipation. I might actually be able to bend down and paint my toe nails by 2015!!!! Lol

My surgery is tomorrow 9/15/14. Started the liquid diet yesterday and had no idea how hungry I would be. I have two active kids that I was running around all day and the headache was crazy. Today is much better. Hanging around the house getting all the laundry done before tomorrow.

I'm 42 250 pounds and about 5'7. My goal weight for myself is 155. I would love buddies to keep in touch with as this journey begins!!!!

I only have to do the two days for pre op. I'm not going to lie it's not a good time. It's doable but be prepared to be hungry.

I tried some premix broth from costco yesterday and couldn't do it. I might add some Water to it and give it a go.

My surgery isn't until 4pm tomorrow! UGH! So excited for you. I am not great at the twitter but I will have plenty of time tomorrow to look into it. Best of luck tomorrow!

      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.
