Hi James, good to have you on here! I'm in mayo and had a gastric sleeve in the Galway Clinic a little over a week ago.
Whereabouts on the bariatric journey are you?

And a top of the morning to you both! I'm red headed , Irish enough that my sons were Kevin and Bryan. But mostly I'm a garden variety American mutt, loveable but a little of several breeds. I guess I've got hybrid vigor, I've made it to 72, alas I think I'm built like a loaf of soda bread, working at getting leaner and fitter. I didn't put all this weight,on in one day and it isn't melting off as fast as I desired. But slowly slowly it will go. I think if you have more than 1 drop of Irish blood you'd like to see it for yourself. Ah --'Maybe someday I will! And Galway and Donegal ,i'm sure lovely lovely places.

Good stuff, I had a few hiccups with Insurance after I did the Croi course also, but got there in the end.

I assume you'll probably be under the same surgeon as myself - Chris Collins?

      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.
