@Rovobay: thanks! Yes, still very surreal! I think I'm high as a kite on Dilaudid right now, so everything seems Easy like Sunday Morning! Lol! I think I'll get a reality check once I'm taking loratab at home!

However, I'm very excited to be an official Sleever!!! I'm hoping to get weighed at some point so I can see how much I've lost so far!!!

Awesome to hear. Just keep up that positivity and you will be a okay. ???? thank God for good meds. Make sure you get what you need for home. Don't worry, my mom in law was sleeved and by the 3rd day she was out shopping. Crazy but that's what she said. So you will be great.

I'm hoping the weight loss plans to kick in soon! I lost 16 lbs during the pre-op diet...and not a lb since. Today starts day 2 post op. I know I've heard about stalls and all...but seems a bit early. Guess my body's gonna take it slow. Just wondering if this is how it's gonna be.

Congrats on the Approval Mike! Do you have a date?

I'm sure you'll do fine with the weight loss. I'm trying to follow all the advice from others so I don't drive myself crazy. My weight is coming off very staggered. I started the pre-op diet and dropped 16 lbs in 10 days. Didn't lose any lbs for 5-6 days and then lost 5 lbs. so....good news is we wil get there since there are lots of success stories on here!!

Hey Big Boy... glad too see you are doing so well. Your off to a great start. Don't worry about this week and not losing more weight. You were filled with so many fluids and your body is slowly eliminating them. I'm sure it kicks into gear in the coming week. Be patient with yourself and it will all happen as it should .

Still waiting on an official date from the person who schedules for the surgeon but it sounds like it will be sometime in November.

That's what's up with Wifey too. We called Blue Cross & they gave us a date but still waiting to hear from Surgical Center.

Keep us posted when you hear back. That times passes by so quickly once your date comes in.

      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.
