I'm having my pre op assessment today at 1:30pm. I have read so many posts some for this op and some against. I also read some lap band posts too. I have a lap band since 2007 and it never worked. Now after so many years of waiting I'm going to have the sleeve op on the 24th August.. I was so excited until I read the posts about weight gain.. Although I know this op is not a miracle cure I'm going to give it my best. I really believe it's down to you as a person to be strong and stay on plan and make te right choices. I wish everyone who is about to take on this journey the best of luck..

This should be fun on my first day of liquids and ready to go back to bed. After being on protien shakes I get really hyper. I am praying everyone especially for those who are having surgery today. Keep us posted on how you are doing. I do have a private group on fb if anyone wants to join. There has been a number of people off this page who have join and it has been a pleasure having them join and share whats going on....the link is.https://www.facebook.com/groups/AprilsBariatricSurgery/

Day 2 of 14 on preop liquid diet. I find I'm really tired. I work 3-11 shift as a nurse so I have to make sure a space every thing out. I was pretty tired when I got home last night and had my last Protein Shake for the day. I only get 4, 200 calories each. I had some beef broth and a couple of sugar free Popsicles. I have been told that it is better after day 3. I had already started 2 shakes and a low carb dinner 2 weeks ago in preparation . I am so ready for the 25th to get here! Shrink liver shrink!!

I weighed in at 287 pounds and my Bmi was 54... roll on the 24th so I can begin a new chapter in my life.. well done to everyone on a liquid diet that's hard to do.????

Honesty I have been on a clear liquid diet since the 5th and the first 3 days was really tough but after 4to5 days on it I guess your body adjust to it and I am having no problem. Can not wait for the 19th !!!

      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.
