First post here, my wife and I are getting sleeved together. We both started the process in January and we've fortunately been able to attend all our the appointments together. We both received our insurance authorization last week following a 3 month supervised diet, and today we were both scheduled. We requested dates a month apart since we have a 3 yr old daughter to take care of. My wife wants to go first so her date is 5/30 and mine is 6/27. It's official now so I figure its a good time to formally join the forum!

My original date was 5/19 so I started the 14 day pre-op on 5/2, they called me on 5/5 said I had to loose 20lbs before surgery to have it at the surgical center, that being the case they decided to move be back to June 2nd! Disappointed, but staying strong! Going to be on the pre-op for 30 days instead of 14 :( Good luck everyone!

      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.
