I am scheduled for March 9th :) I figure we may lose some hair but it comes back, and we may have excess skin but I would rather have that than be unhealthy and sick from being fat the rest of my life. Plus if the skin really bothers you, you could always get surgery to have it removed later. Don't worry, I at least am worried about the same things but this is going to be a good thing.

Hello All,

I received some bad news today. I fell the Sunday before MLK Day and my foot/leg has been bothering me. Today I went to see an orthopedic surgeon and found out I have ruptured my Achilles' tendon and fx my heel bone. I have to have surgery to fix this and it is scheduled for Monday. Unfortunately, this is the exact day I was scheduled for my sleeve. My sleeve has now been rescheduled for march 21...

So sorry to hear that! At least you're reschedule isn't far away and you're able to get yourself treated for your tendon.

      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.
