We are all gonna rock this together :) Glad you got a date scheduled Canada. I have to go in and do one more blood test on the 17th and start my pre-op diet the 24th and have a meeting with the surgeon on March 2nd. I feel like it is all going to go very quickly after the 17th. Good luck on the endoscopy and the sleep test. I am really glad to know someone will be going through this at the same time and if yall want someone to talk to just send me a message.

I don't really have one either. Just supposed to eat better now - Protein Shakes 1x a day if I want. All liquid the day before. That's it though.

I finished my stuff to be submitted for approval on Friday. Scheduler called me today and said it takes about two weeks to get results from the psych eval then submit but that i should be looking at the end of March for surgery but she can't schedule until approval.

My surgery is scheduled for March 8. I'm going through the read everything I possibly can phase, and my husband thinks I'm "obsessing." I'm starting to get nervous and as silly as it sounds, it still doesn't seem real. When I have my normal "if I ever lose weight..." thoughts and realize it's not if, but when. It's hard to wrap my mind around it.

I'd really like to know what people are doing now to prepare. I haven't started any major changes and feel guilty for not doing so yet.

March 2, can not wait. I have started to mix in protien shakes in place of 2 meals. The nutritionist hasn't said to do it yet but I want to ease myself into it so I'm not miserable when I'm on all liquid.

Do any of you want to start a Facebook page for March Sleevers? I would be glad to try. If so send me your email addresses in private message and we can try it.

What I'm doing to prepare is obsessing over it. Lol.

But seriously, I'm trying to do some shopping for pre and post op needs now as I'm soon off to Hawaii for 2 weeks and then start my pre op dirt as soon as I get home. I'm nervous but excited!

I'm scheduled for March 21. I was rescheduled from Feb 1 because I fell and fractured my heel bone and ruptured my achilles tendon. I'm now having surgery for my foot on Monday.

      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.
