I am scheduled for November 18th. I just started a new job after the surgery was scheduled and I am very nervous about getting the time off. I am a self pay and I am afraid of failing. I met with the psychologist this morning and I told him how I lost about 75 lbs on Weight Watchers but gained it all back after an environmental change.

I'm scheduled for the 18th as well. Also anxious to get just past the surgery and start recovery. Started the pre-op diet early to start adjusting more. Don't mind the Protein Shakes but curbing the late afternoon hunger is a challenge. But, sticking to it.

First, I am excited that we are a HOT TOPIC! ha ha

Second, I am so happy that there are a good number of us getting sleeved in the same week - what a support system!

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. It has been ok. Sitting at lunch with my fellow teachers munching down on carbs is hard, but I just smile and eat my leafy greens and 4 oz of chicken. The sugar free Jello is a life saver. I know it is a non-food entity, but it makes me "think" I am eating sweets.

So far I have lost 7 pounds in 4 days, and I am motivated!!!!

Hope all of you are doing great as well!

Jackie

      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.
