Still collecting members to the may sleevers fb group! 21 members so far! If you'd like to join simply message me @Less of Jess, @jayshann, or @CandyCrushVSG and we'll get you started. Include your email address in the message and we can send you a private invite. We've got the group set at secret to project the privacy of our members, so we can't leave a general invite and you won't find the group if you search for it. That also means that all posts in the group are only seen by group members and the group is not listed in your groups list that your friends see, shhhh... it's secret!

Hello all

I am scheduled for surgery on May 6th. I am scheduled for pre-op visit with my Doctor in two weeks and final pre-op labs that same day. I am anxious to get this done as it has been a long journey getting to this point. I am having my surgery done at Kaiser South Bay in California. :)

I'm scheduled for VSG on May 4th. I'm still kind of in shock; after preparing for this for 6 months for insurance purposes, I can't believe I've made it to the end and that my surgery day is a matter of weeks away. Starting the 2 week liquid diet on 4/21 - kind of nervous! But all in all I am glad that I stuck to my guns and am going to be living a healthier life soon! Best of Luck to my fellow May Sleevers!!

      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.
