Hey Y'all

My real name is danny I'm from NYC

I'm getting the Gastric sleeve, today was my day to meet with the surgeon and set a date.

Well have my day for May 27th God willing.

I'm nervousness because I don't eat vegetables and haven't yet changed my eating habits. My doctor doesn't require me to do a liquid diet for the 2 weeks prior to the surgery so it's same ole same ole until my Time.

Well just wanted to share that hello to you all.

Hello Danny! My name is Dominique, I am new here too! I'm 19 years old and had the sleeve done April 29th. I was required to do the two week diet. It was hard. Seeing as it's not a requirement, I suggest you try to start limiting your food intake and try to transition into soft foods as that's what you need to eat 2 to 3 weeks after. It was hard for me and honestly still is! I kept waiting till last minute to stop eating junk and now that I am recovering, it's hard to not eat all the food I use to haha. I've lost about 17 pounds so far which is great! I have my grandmother already getting me clothes as gifts for when I go down sizes. Lol. If you ever need someone to talk to about changing eating habits or need some support you can always come and message me! I wish you the very best of luck with your upcoming surgery!

Good Luck Danny. I'm also getting the sleeve. Most likely early July due to some prior engagements and I have a few more pre-op testing. This site is very informative. ????

      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.
