Sorry for the late response Ellapearl.....I had my pre-op appointment on 9/29 and I also met with my dietician. I started freaking out when I was reading the consent forms about the risk but my surgeon did a great job comforting me. I'm ready....I only have to do the clear liquid diet the day before surgery.

I am getting sleeved on 10/5 (4 days!?!). I have lost 20lbs on the preop diet. I am lucky because my husband is very supportive, and getting sleeved himself a month or so after me.

Hey folks. I was given my surgery date 10/17/2016 last week. Super excited but a bit worry now. Waiting on my final insurance( NYC HEALTHFIRST) approval as well. Just had my medical clearance appointment today and was told my EKG showed an incomplete right bundle branch block and my labs showed low Iron deficiency as well.So I was immediately scheduled to see a cardiologist this Tuesday. It's been a long journey and I know it's just the beginning but I'm really worried that it's a new setback. Please any advice?

Starting weight:225lbs March 2016

Last weightin: 210lbs October 2016

6 month weight in: 15lb lost

      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.
