Hi and welcome aboard too! I'm pre-surgery---scheduled for November 4th Gastric Sleeve. I am 5'7" by my drivers license but I guess I shrunk an inch because of age and weight, so I'm 5'6" by my surgeon's records. I'm currently at 240 lbs, having lost 5 lbs since I went to my first seminar Aug 11th. I had my EGD on Sept. 12th. I start my pre-op diet on Oct 24th. Super excited and ready to lose more weight!

Whereabouts are you from "hollisrn76"? I'm in Kansas and working with the Bariatric Center of Kansas City in Lenexa, KS.

Good luck to all, and I'm rooting for all of you to have successful surgeries, speedy recoveries, and the weight loss you desire!

      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.
