Congrats everyone!! And good luck!

I requested to join the sleeve may 2017 group.

My blog is fatchocobomom.com - it's a bit of my geeky side, but I've been talking about my wls stuff as well, and linking my vlog. I'm hoping to update more.

I didn't really get any info on a pre-op diet, so I came up with my own, based on what seemed like the norm for everyone else. I'll start tomorrow or Monday, depending if I can get to the store tomorrow or not. >.> While my anxiety is going more and more, I'm doing alright. Had a few break downs, but because of some support issues that are now worked out. Forcing myself to do a pre op is really hard, because my brain says "well, you don't have to! Enjoy this time!" But, I figure I really should, better for my recovery and my mental well being.

And despite feeling so torn on that little aspect, I'm 100% committed to after surgery. I'm getting stocked up- lots of broths, lots of Soups, lots of Protein powders, sugar free jellos and all the little stuff I think will help keep me going.

Still...anyone else just feel like their going to explode before surgery? I'm feeling so many emotions, and I really feel like it's so much at once.

So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?
I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.


My date is May 9, 2017 & I'm so excited!

Thanks! I don't actually start my pre-op liquid diet until April 29th. But I'm ready! I have to use a brand called Bariatric Advantage. It's supposed to keep you full a little longer.

May 2! I have a 1 week low carb pre-op diet starting tomorrow :blush: After approval it just goes SO fast! Approval has been such a rollercoaster ride that I think I had almost come to terms with not having the surgery - so I'm a little nervous but also ready for the life change! I'm thinking I'll do liquid diet the last 3 days of the week just in prep for the surgery as well. Good luck everyone!

Too clarify, you have gained weight since your initial visit with your surgery? If so, my surgeon told me that I couldn't gain weight from my initial visit, if I did that insurance would deny me. It may be different for different insurances. Have you been approved yet?

      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.
