Do you have a favorite blog that you follow for someone who has gone through the sleeve surgery? I have found a couple but they are not active any more. I would like to find some who are active but if you have an awesome one i would love to see it.

I don't know if it qualifies as "awesome" but you are welcome to check mine out. It's linked in my signature. I started it in January 2013 while I was pre-op & still update it pretty regularly now at 2 years post op. In fact I was just sitting here working on a new post for tomorrow :-)

I enjoyed following video blogs on YouTube when I was pre-op, and still do. I started my own channel when I started my pre-op diet. It's been fun recording my journey. There are quite a few active VSG video bloggers in all stages of this journey.

Here is my channel, If you are interested:

I'd love some blogs to read too. Seeing the ones that have made it to goal are great, but I'd love someone at the beginning of their journey to follow. I have a blog ready with a couple of posts, but as I'm still int he planning stage it won't have actual surgery stuff on it until next year.

      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.
