Hello everyone. I am new to this app. My name is Thomas. I'm 37 yrs old. 5ft 11in. 330 lbs. I am having the sleeve done Jan 29th 2015. I am having major fears right now cause I am still eating bad. Any suggestions for help.

Are you supposed to start a pre op diet yet? I ate like a pig through the holidays and had lots of food funerals before starting my ore op diet Monday (surgery is 1/19) Do you have food addictions? Or are you just eating badly like you always have (if that makes sense?)

My Pre op diet appointment is 1/20. My surgery is 1/29. I am not a food addict I think. More of an emotional eater. But things have been getting better. But from the group therapy session I been going to. I'm fearful of the 1 or 2 ounce meals for 6 months.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but from what I read on here, you won't want or be able to eat more than 2-3 oz and they all seem to be fine with it

I agree. I heard that also. I guess I will see. I'm keeping a positive mind. I'm ready for change

You'll do fine. My friend has the sleeve in sept and she is never hungry!

      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.
