Hi all! I am having my sleeve done on the 15th in the UK and would love to have a group who were also having there sleeve about this time and were maybe in the UK. I am so happy to read all the stories from StateSide but you are sometimes talking about products we can not get here and I really need help with this Protein stuff! Also I am starving! My pre op diet has started and although I have lost 6lbs in a week I am ready to eat the sofa!!!! Anybody else know this feeling?

Hi! I'm in Bucks in the UK, seeing my surgeon for initial consultation tomorrow for self pay WLS. So excited I'm not sure if I'll sleep tonight! Also really nervous as I would like to have surgery ASAP but I've been seeing a psychologist, psychiatrist and dietician for anxiety,depression and overeating since September, but it's not my surgeons usual team so I hope the work I've done counts. I'm hoping the surgeon will have a space for me ASAP having completed the PRE OP diet first of course. I'm 5ft7 and 139kg, tried all the diets and been a big girl all of my adult life. Praying after tomorrow's consultation I'll have the chance to make a change!

Where are you up to now?

Best of luck,

Kim

      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.
