Completed my last appointment today! Hallelujah! So much information, overload!

Kaiser only requires a two day liquid diet one day full liquids one day Clear Liquids two days prior to surgery.

Thankfully I've been following their pre-op diet on and off since May and I'm still losing weight on my own. I would love to get down another 10 pounds before my surgery.

But I am having my farewell dinners in lunches just a few things that I don't know that I'll ever be able to tolerate again.

Our nutritionist said again today some people cannot handle sugar or really greasy foods they get dumping syndrome even with the sleeve. It's amazing though when you are eating and making better choices how those foods don't feel good anymore... Happy for that!

I firmly believe nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. :)

I thought for sure I'd be sleeved in December but after a phone call with my coordinator yesterday it looks like I could be sleeved in November!!! She said since my primary insurance is Medicare I could get a reply in just a few days!! (Medicare at 36 years old isn't what I'd call a great thing though). After approval she said it's about 3 weeks until surgery.

That is good my office was 4-6 weeks out and longer at the end of the year. So glad you got an earlier date.

      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.
