After a year of a pre-reqs and a battle with my insurance company and the painful slowness of my surgeon's office staff I FINALLY got my surgery date!!

July 1st 2015 - 2 days before my 40th birthday! :D I guess there will be no cake for me! ;) LOL

I'm getting my sleeve done on July 4th. I've known my date since early March, but I find as it gets closer and closer I am becoming much more nervous than I was previously.

I'm getting mine done in Mexico, my mom is coming with me.

I don't have the exact date yet. I got on June 17th to talk to the surgeon, nutritionist, and psychiatrist. I am hoping for a mid-July date, as I am a teacher and want to get it done while I am off work. The people in the office seem to think it will work! I'll keep you updated!

So... what is everyone doing to prepare for your surgeries next month?

I've been doing the normal things- figuring out work time off, what to do with my kids and asking for help when my husband goes back to work. I've also been doing surgery things like taste testing different Protein drinks (I am not a fan of Syntrax, I love Premier Protein), reading books and packing away all my fat clothes!

Trying to get ready also.. I'm reading a lot and making lists of things I need.. Trying out shakes is a great idea have you heard that your tastes change?? I also went back to my boot camp just a couple days a week to try to build up my stamina.. Oh yes also bought a fit bit to track everything.,

      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.
