I see my surgeon on Friday, Jan. 16th. We are going to plan my date for Sleeve surgery. I had the Lap Band and it did not work for me. Too much discomfort from the port and my body does not like foreign objects in it. I had a lot of scar tissue wrapped around the band and its components. I have put on 25 lbs since its removal on July 29th. I am looking forward to this as I am ready for a change. I am newly married and my husband is a great support. This change will help out everyone in my family. I want more energy as I love to do so many different things and just too darn tired after work. I also sit in an office all day too! Everyone in my family is over weight with diabetes and HBP. I don't want to be living the way I see them living their lives. I have already started looking for a new job that will at least have me up and moving around.

      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.
