Thank you @@rking

Hello and good luck to you. Today was by 2nd visit to the doctor and I approximately got the date; it might be on 13 January. I'm excited and nervous all at same time. I'm having the sleeve.

January isn't far off!! Good luck to you also and keep me informed how it goes, wishing you the Best!

I have my script for my bloodwork and need to get it done this week since my next apt is next Thursday! I'm running out of time! I met with the cardiologist and had an ekg and they're scheduling me for a stress test and a home sleep study. Hopefully my insurance cooperates. I like the medical team so that helps. Your a little further along than I am if your going in January! Are you super excited? Lebanon huh! Your far away from me! My friends husband is from there! Great guy.

You are going to do great! I hear they sedate you for it. I've never had one! I go back this Thursday the 3rd for my second monthly apt. Will meet with everyone again. Gotta get my bloodwork done asap so it's done and back for that apt!

I'm new to forum and am at the same place you are. I begin my 12 week nutrition classes on Dec 1.

      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.
