December 22 at 8am. Had my surgeon calling and calling to get my medical clearance from my primary care doctor. Up until the last minute. He was insisting I go to a cardiologist to get clearance. My surgeon kept asking why if my Cardio echo was done and everything was good. I will be so happy when I'm on the other side. It's been a long road. On a positive note I've lost 8 pounds on my pre surgery diet.

I got sleeved 7/14/14 and everyday I wake up I feel like its Xmas morning....no longer anxious about food and weight! Albeit, the first two weeks kicked my butt but, that passes. I think its brilliant, doing it in Dec during this season of food and drink...if you are like I was, you would not pass up any holiday treat...pre-sleeve. Now I don't even want the stuff. Thanks to the post-op diet you won't have to worry about "limiting" yourself since you won't be able to eat solid foods AND you are going to actually lose weight over the holidays!!! It doesn't get any better!

      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.
