Hi, just thought I'd give a little introduction, as I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's successes here! My name is Josette, I'm 19 and from Oregon. I am set to have my sleeve done on the 23rd of June, 2015 in Coos Bay. I am on my second day of liquids! This won't be my first weight loss surgery, I had a band placed in 2013 in Mexico by Dr Ortiz, that had to be removed September 2014 in the states due to complications. Looking back I should have saved up and gotten the sleeve the first time, but I'm so excited to start my journey now; and I cannot wait to see all of your wonderful progress here! (:

Here are my numbers:

Hw: 350

Cw: 344

Sw: ?

Gw: 160

Thank you! Oh that's great! He is a good surgeon, with great bedside manner! I should mention that none of my complications were surgeon related haha. Good luck to you too! (:

I'm June 23, too. I'm having some anxiety attacks (mostly because I'm feeling so yucky on the pre-op diet and am worried about post-op functioning at work), but I'm trying to stay focused on the long-term goal!

      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.
