Hi all,

I will be sleeved on 5/28 at Kaiser in SSF, I'm looking for others that are going through it too so we can support one another.

Thanks

I too am having surgery on 5/28. Having lap band removed and converted to a sleeve. It didn't seem like the time would ever come. I can't believe its only 5 days away. I only have to be on Clear Liquids one day prior to surgery. I have been trying to make better choices so I can loose some weight prior to surgery. Wishing you the best of luck. Keep in touch.

It's so nice to meet you. My daughter in law just did lap to sleeve surgery on 5/13. She's doing very well.

I am prescribed full liquids the day prior to surgery. I can't believe it's so close either. But I'm really looking forward to getting on the other side.

I would love to keep in touch. Where are you located?

I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida. My surgery is in Jupiter Florida. I am trying to figure out how to post pictures from my iphone. At my smallest I weighed 137 down from 244. After I started having trouble with the band they removed the saline and I gained most of my weight back. post-253880-14324375302607_thumb.jpg

      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.
