April 6th. Finished all my pre-op appointments today. Starting my liquid diet on Monday. The nurse who did my pre-op lab work had the sleeve (same surgeon) in August, and she looked great. She really eased my mind about everything, and shared her first-hand experience. I'm ready!

I am! Going to Brigham and Womens. Dr. David Spector. He is incredible. Staff is outstanding....can't say enough about how positive the program has been. Message me if you want more info!

That's awesome! I was choosing between the Brigham (my mom works there) and emerson hospital. I ultimately chose emerson because of the program and I know a few people who have gone through it. So exciting! The program at the brigham was obviously very impressive and you know you are in such good hands there.

      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.
