Alright another week down, I was awful this weekend, lost track of time and had a few things I shouldn't have had still didn't go crazy but can't keep excusing it now either... New week and today is my first day without the COFFEE... so so so sad, but doing well so far if I can get to Thursday I know I will be ok. Also I order a scale and it has arrived was opened and used, it is a start right? my wondercup measuring cup also arrived and looks amazing plan to start using that asap. I have been good about getting good carbs through veg and I think I am getting better with not drinking as well. All in all a couple set backs and some successes.

how is everyone else doing?

I am still being bad and eating what I want while I can. I just got my shakes that I will begin having when I start my 2 week preop diet next week. I am living it up with the caffeine too because I will stopping that on next week as well.

Hey Y'all! Mind another late comer to the party? I just got approved and my surgery is scheduled for November 2nd! Also, did I mention this is the first surgery I have ever had? Ya, I am freaking out! But still very excited. I haven't started my pre-op diet yet but I know it's coming. I feel like I should be asking all these questions to my surgeon but I keep drawing a blank. I just, for some reason, never thought this day would come.

Okay so, does anyone have a tips or catchy emotional support poster saying to share?

Hello and welcome! :) I am getting sleeved on November 6th and the fear is starting to kick in too but we can do this!:)

Just got my official approval for my surgery on 11/5. Pre-op appointment on 10/24 and liquid diet starts on 10/25. Anyone else starting liquid around the same time? I'm nervous about surviving 10 days of liquids. Would love to have someone in the same position to chat with and support with!

My surgery is on November 6th and I will be starting my 2 week pre-op diet on October 22nd. I will also be stopping caffeine on the 22nd too so I know I will be so much fun to be around. When I told my husband this he asked if I could go stay with my mom during that time. I know he was mostly joking :D

First time poster. My surgery date is 11/20/2018.

I'm converting from a LapBand which I had removed 5/2018 because of a prolapsed band and severe reflux. My LapBand surgery was 11/2002.

      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.
