Would like to join the group please. I'm 53 years young. At 301#

Had the lapband 3 years ago and lost weight but had a lot of medical trouble occurring with it. I lost 60# but fell and broke my leg in July and had to depend on others to cook for me and no weight bearing for 13 weeks I put most it back on. So im going in and replacing the band for the Sleeve. Would love to go through this journey with like supporters.

I'm scheduled for December 22,2016

Good to hear from you. Hope you feel better soon. I'm on the way to Texas now and will be sleeved in the morning at 930 am

Feel like I've been punched in the gut today. My liquid goal today is 48 oz but I don't think I'll make it. I stay so full just sipping!

Good luck to all of you!

Scheduled Dec 6. Very nervous. I am afraid and not sure why? I have had surgery before. I am grieving food already. I am afraid I will never be able to eat normal foods. I could use some support.

I was just sleeved on December 2. I didn't get nervous until I got to the hospital. You will be just fine. Take a minute at a time. Take some deep breathes.

Hello all... I made it to Texas and at the hospital waiting to be called back to be prepped for surgery... excited and a wee bit nervous... my wonderful son is here with me so he is keeping me updated about all latest news in young people world ( he is 20 years old) . So, he is a good distraction. I will post an update when I wake up, lol.

      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.
