I am a very private person. I am a little concerned about the private Facebook group. I understand that as long as the group is marked secret it stays private, but at any point the creator could mark it public, in error or whatever. Also, when the group is closed it becomes public as well. What is the big push to move off of this forum to have the same conversations? I am surprised so many have moved over to Facebook, and I feel like I am missing a piece of this puzzle. Is the thought that since it's a group, when someone posts it'll show up in your news feed? I'm just confused...

I am catching up after several days. There are a ton of posts telling people to join the Facebook group. I was confused as to why also.

Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet complete.

Feeling okay, but my stomach is screaming a bunch of 4 letter words at me.

Is there a November Sleeve FB group yet? I thought I saw talk of it, but wasn't sure if it happened...

Time is moving very slow and it's so hard to focus on anything else. I wondered if it was just me. I've started to count down mini milestones that give me something to look forward to. For example, I after today I only have 16 days of work left. It's not huge but it does help.

Well it has finally come. I got my date of Nov 3rd. Can't believe they just called me a week ago stating they have the paperwork and they are ready to go. They scheduled all my tests and appointments but forgot to tell me I need to start my liquid diet TOMORROW. Glad I had this forum to keep me on track.

Congrats!! That's a quick turnaround but it gives you less time to worry so that's good!

      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.
