@vegasrosee99@yahoo.com Sorry your date got changed. It's so hard waiting! Use this time to clean a closet or something. LOL. I did do a lot of laundry and cleaning the week of surgery. The nesting mode kicked in, I got a lot done. I'm 12 days post-op and already have a pair of jeans to retire. I'm so excited. I've only lost 16 pounds but I've lost 38 inches. I'm not getting in all the Protein and Water they suggest. I'm just not hungry or thirsty so I don't think of it. I keep saying I'll do better tomorrow. Hopefully I will. Are you on a liquid diet? My surgeon had me on one 2 weeks prior. That was very hard for me.

Was not totally compliant with pre-op diet. Now I have to go weigh in and see if I can still have sleeve done Wednesday. I pray I can. If I can't do it now, I don't think another week will help. I've waited so long. I'm scared to fail.

One of my daughters is getting married in mid October. My surgery is Sept 23rd. I'm trying to predict what size I will be 3.5 weeks post-op. Thoughts anyone?

Are you on the full liquid diet for two weeks before surgery? If so, i would guess you would be down about 20 pounds at that point.

I am also scheduled for surgery on the 17th. Remove the lap band and do the sleeve. Any ideas for clear liquid diet are appreciated.

      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.
