My name is Paul and I have my sleeve surgery scheduled for Dec 1. Been on pre-op diet and no deviation. It's been tough no doubt. Hopefully the liver shrinks as needed. Started back in May June going through the paces. Started out at 335. Currently at 280. Nervous and excited all at once. If I can get through Thanksgiving on this pre op I feel I can make it!

Update: surgery was just under an hour. All went well Wednesday home by 4 on Friday. Now working and I mean working in fluids! Man it's a job. So far so good. All food on TV and around me have negative thoughts. Almost make me nauseated. Smells are strong too.

      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.
