I'm scheduled for July 24th too! After 2 prior surgery dates (april 26th and June 7th) I'm hoping no other rode blocks come up and I will have my sleeve done!! Did anyone make a fb group? I would love to join!

Good luck! When do you start the prediet?

My appt is july 14...I cannot wait. I was thin up until 40 and then I gained 100 lbs..so tired of the yo yo'ing. I dont understand some ppl on the blogs are asking how long until they can eat fried food and icecream. Isn't the whole point of this surgery to help us while we change our eating habits and start eating healthy? I got to 250 from eating fried foods! I dont want to eat that crap after surgery!

I think there is quite a few of us on the 3rd. So close now. Are you starting your pre-op diet soon too? or have you already begun?

      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.
