@@kmorri This is awesome! Congrats!! You have a great pre op plan. I had 1 lean protein/veggie meal a day and let me tell you, I couldn't wait to cook my dinner and eat! Good luck! Are you have a food Funeral this weekend?? :) I went to some of my favorite places to eat before I started mine.

I finally got my official date and it's 5/16/16!!! I'll be starting my pre-op diet on Monday May 2nd.....but thankfully I get to have food on my pre-op diet. I have one Protein shake and two small low carb meals per day.....and then clear liquids 24 hours prior to surgery.

Trying to not consider it as a "food funeral"......but I will probably have dinner out somewhere with my hubby on Sunday just because I know it'll be a while....but I'm not going to have anything crazy.....I've actually been looking forward to being able to start doing something to take off some of this weight.....I've been stuck during the pre-op phase with not being able to lose anything in order to ensure I qualified....So now I'm ready for this new start!!

Me too!!! 5/16 here as well!

I am scheduled on 16 May 2016 for gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Nilesh A. Patel in San Antonio, Tx. Anybody know him or have anything to share about him? I am a low BMI of 35 and my insurance just approved the surgery after trying for almost a year. I am excited, but scared at the same time. That's only 2 weeks away from now!

I just got my date today, and we have the same date! 5/16/16. Yay!

      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.
