Well, my sleeve is scheduled for April 16....one week from today. As I sit here eating my chips, I am slowly and painfully saying goodbye to them. I don't know what all I can eat later, I'm still not up to par on my research and diet control, but I do know that for a few weeks or whatever it will be liquids, then pureed then soft, etc. No chips. :( Is that sad??? That I am sad I won't get these yummy foods that I love? Well....on the opposite spectrum, I am all about excited to have a healthier body. I want to fit places that have been a struggle to fit, and I want to move around and be able to walk without pain. Here's my joy! I am excited about getting better!!! :) I'm also getting scared as the day approaches. I have pre-op tomorrow. Wish me well! And I hope all of you are doing great as well!!!

So sorry to hear this hope you are feeling better soon just try and do what your surgeon tells you and keep dreaming of how good you will feel after you are out of the hospital and losing weight :)

      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.
