Anyone having their sleeves being done on Feb.14,2018? Are you nervous? I'm guessing I would have to start my 14-day pre-op diet at the end of the month on the 31st? I also have about 3 pre-op appointments to go to... I'm thinking about taking 11 days off.. Would that be enough or too many days off?.. hmmm...

My surgery date is February 12th. I see my surgeon on Feb 1 and he should tell me when I'll be starting my pre-op diet. Last time I met with him he told me I was fine as far as weight loss.

My surgery is scheduled for February 15th. My doctor sent my diet yesterday that I will start on Feb 1st! I am nervous but extremely excited! I think I am going to take 2-3 weeks off.. Have not decided yet.

I still have yet to decide how many days I will take off. I have my pre-op diet paper already, I think I’m supposed to start on the 31st.

I'm RNY, not sleeve, but I'm 2/15 :) I told my husband we'll have to have a romantic Protein Shake dinner the night before since it's Valentine's Day :lol: I think I might also treat myself to a massage or something relaxing!

I am 15th Feb :-) can’t wait. We should keep each other updated with progress. I would love to stay in touch with people having surgery on or near the same date. X

Is there a way on here to create a chat group for people with the same surgery date? It would be comforting to know I have a group of buddies I can chat to who are going through the same thing at the same time.x

I'm not sure. You can probably create a thread for it.

      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.
