Hi there - just got my insurance approval today and scheduled for Dec. 21 as well. I'm brand new to this site and hoping to connect with a support group of other December folks.

How are all the Dec. 21st peeps doing? I'm "nerve-cited" as my kids would say. I keep cycling through the "what ifs?" and worrying about ruining Christmas for my family if god forbid something should happen during or after surgery. I am trying to focus on the future and how happy I'll be with this decision a month or two down the line. Just a ball of nerves I guess. How is everyone else feeling?

I don't check in until 1 pm - surgery at 2:15. I'm going to be starving, but oh well! I am just nervous about complications and the impact on my husband and three little ones. But I know major issues are statistically rare so I just need to take a deep breath and trust all will turn out fine. Would love to keep in touch and hear how everyone's procedure goes. Wishing all 21st sleevers safe, complication free procedures tomorrow with easy recoveries!

      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.
