Well just got back from my appointment and who is down 12lbs? This chick right here and I feel awesome about that I know it is cause I'm basically eating nothing and don't get me wrong I'm STARVING but hey I just know that if I go into surgery with a lower body weight that it means I have less to lose and I think that is something great!

This pre op is so hard!! So proud of your loss!!! Thanks for keeping us all motivated to keep pushing!

I had my last appointment today that my insurance required me to do, my coordinator will submit my paperwork in the morning, we are also aiming for a January date. Say a little prayer for me, hoping this process goes through quick. ????

Ooo fingers crossed to all you gals and guys out there waiting for your date. As much as we all want our dates to be closer just consider this time to adopt some healthy eating habits and get right of some bad ones! Rooting for everyone and If anyone is interested I just spent the day sipping on some different broths and Soups and found some great ones like mexican tortilla Soup, chinese hot and sour and thai chicken. All have a nice kick and changes it up from the shakes. Those are all made from Swanson and if you go to traders joes I found that their Miso soup is great there! kinda pricey though!

Wow you only weigh 172 and are going with gastric sleeve? If I can ask why not do the lap band?

      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.
