I also just got my approval today! I cannot wait! I am waiting for her to call me back about the date...I am also a teacher. I am wondering how it is all going to work out with scheduling, but this is the first thing I have ever done for myself so I am going to make it work!

I am a teacher as well! My surgery date is tomorrow. I am taking tomorrow and Friday off, and then I have Monday and Tuesday off for fall break. I plan on going back on Wednesday of next week, so I really hope it all goes well, and I recuperate fast! I would hate for my poor sixth graders to feel the wrath of my hanger... nobody likes that. You can ask my family. Poor guys have been living with demon mom/wife for 2 weeks now.

Good luck to all of you October sleevers. October 16th will mark my one year anniversary, and I'm ecstatic with the results so far, high weight of 347, and 178.2 as of this morning. It is a life changing procedure, and I am so glad to have made the decision to go through with it. In the blink of an eye, you too will be at your 1 year, asking yourself, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"

You've done a great job in 9 days shy of a year! Congrats!

Hello, I am 3 weeks post OP on Monday 10/08/18. I was just like you, scared and excited! Since surgery, I haven't been able to meet my Protein and Water goal. I can only drink one bottle of protein and 2 bottles of water. I hope your doing well and not, having any issues. One advice I can give you is, to walk, walk, walk. It helps a lot with the gas. Since being 3 weeks post OP, I've lost 48pds. If your anything like me and others, we basically hated we did went through with the surgery. But, that phase will pass super fast, once you see the numbers on the scale decreasing. Stay hydrated and walk. You got this!

      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.
