Newbie here!

I'm scheduled for my sleeve on January 13, 2017. I'm so excited to change my life! Went out today and bought a GOAL dress :-) it is a size small (????) slinky little black Michael Kors number and my goal is to go on a hot date with my hubby wearing that dress next summer! He said I should put it on and take a picture so that we have something to compare it to when it actually fits!

Anyone else starting 2017 off with a life-changing bang?? Anyone else have a GOAL outfit hanging up to keep you in track?

I purchased items I thought would be my goal clothes, but I just reached goal and the clothes are too big!

I'm giving some to charity but there are a couple I'm having altered. Just know you may end up in an XS

@ I feel ya! I am nervous too. But then I catch a glimpse in the mirror or of a photo and feel a pain in my knee and I am reminded why I am doing this. I hope you get a Jan date so we can be on similar timelines and help each other along!

About a month after deciding to get surgery, I was asked to be a bridesmaid! I bought my dress at a size 24. The wedding is 9/16/17. Can't wait to get it tailored down to my new size!!

      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.
