I'm in!

I got my insurance approval in early August, done the investigations and scheduled the procedure on Aug 30. I ended up cancelling the whole thing due to fear and anxiety and constant question in my mind (am I giving up with out seriously trying diet and exercise?).

What actually prompted me to consider sleeving was the constant pain and agony from Sciatica caused by disc protrusions L3-S1. Living on Lyrica, Arcoxia and muscle relaxants

My current weight is 135 Kg (298 lbs) while my maximum was 140 Kg (308 lbs) last year

Although I got some relief back in july when I went to Bali with my wife to Celebrate our 5 year anniversary when I dropped to 127 Kg (280 lbs) and discontinued my meds, but soon I gained back what lost and reach my 2 year average of 135 Kg (298 lbs) and went back my neurologist to restart treatment for the disc proplase ans sciatica

Just 3 days ago I decided I've had enough and rescheduled the surgery to Nov 1st.

Believe me I’m scared got to little girls and that’s what constantly on my mind. But the pros to this surgery are amazing. I think so many people have successfully done it why not me. Everything will be great! Stay positive.

Arcoxia is a Coxib, is IT a near-enough cousin to NSAIDS that you will have to delete it? Or will you be allowed to keep it since you are a Sleeve Candidate? I have an Ulcer 💢caused by excessive NASID usage, so I worry about it for others.

      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.
