Hey everyone! I'm new for the most part. I'm scheduled for surgery on December 10th and I was hoping to find someone to was getting sleeved right around the same time that would want to talk. For motivation, worries, support, someone who is literally in this process at the same point in time as me. :-)

I will like the same as you! Motivation and new friends that would understand what we are going thru or about to ;) wish you the best.. How are you feeling after surgery? My surgery is this Monday :)

I had my surgery on 12/14. I'm 39 and my starting weight was 229. I'm trying not to weigh myself everyday, but I weighed this morning and I was down to 218.

I'd love to be able to chat with you guys on the fb page, so I just requested.

That is great. I had my surgery on the 10th and have only lost about 6lb. A bit discouraging.

Don't get discouraged elfishman! It will start to come off. I have a friend that's over a year out and hers came off slow for the first 3 months or so and then picked up. She looks great, so just keep plugging along with Protein and water!

      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.
