I'm getting sleeved in Los Angeles on Feb 27th also . Started pre op diet on Monday and it's been a good way to prepare for what's in store for after the surgery . I am 62 and weigh 262. Finally getting excited about the surgery and will probably start to get nervous the night before .

I would love to try to keep in contact. If you do Facebook we could use messenger, which would be easier. Just friend request Sally Wilkinson from Columbus, Georgia ( I live back in S. Florida now).

I'm not sure if this is going public or if it is a private message. I'll hit send and see where it shows up.

Hi, well...I start the pre op diet on Sunday. liquid Protein Shakes, crystal light and Water only for eight days. We are probably about the same size now because I am 5 inches shorter than you. I wear a 2x 18/20 now. I'll turn 49 on the day of surgery. Tomorrow I'm going to hear Trump speak at the Melbourne, Florida rally and tomorrow is my last day on food for a looooong time!

Your goal weight seems low for your height but I'm probably just saying that because I put my goal weight a bit high at 140 for myself. 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.
