I'm also getting the sleeve. Where's everybody from? I'm from Toronto (Canada) but I live in New Taipei City (Taiwan). Navigating the health system here has been an interesting experience!

I'm from Bronx, NY

The RNY seemed too much for me... I don’t know I just feel more comfortable with the sleeve...

And the beauty is this will all be worth it when we have the results we have been wanting. It's tough. I'm on day 5 and want a real meal and some wine too [emoji16] PS my fav right now is premiere Protein chocolate and caramel.

Same! It terrifies me. I know it's the golden standard, but figured that since I don't have the co-morbidities that the RnY specifically addresses, the sleeve was enough for me.

I think we will do just fine! I know it’s going to have its ups and downs, but if we do what we are told and have a strong will, it will be a recipe for success

      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.
