Are you just considering the sleeve, or other wls? The forum is filled with Q&A's which helped me a lot with all my doubts. So feel free to ask away!

I'm considering the sleeve, it seems better suited for me. I've been checking online and I found this website and I'm glad I did. Where are you in your journey, if you don't mind me asking?

I am half way through my 14 day pre-op liquid diet (day#8) and scheduled for the sleeve next Tues April 4th!! I'm super excited :D

At the beginning of my journey I was set on getting the Lap Band, and after all the research and talking to people who've done the sleeve I just thought it be a better option for me so then I changed my mind and now I am doing the sleeve.

      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.
