Welcome officially @ColoradoCanuck check it out you have 4 buddies going with you .wow thats' awesome .How you doing so far? what's up right now with your journey?

I'm doing okay, have my pre-op appointment on the 8th, one week of nothing but Water and Protein Shakes to shrink the liver... I already like the Protein shakes, I've been building up to 2-3 per day already, but the week leading up to surgery will be 5 shakes per day. First week or two after surgery will be just water and shakes, so it'll be a good 3+ weeks of liquids. I'm currently trying to figure out what to "track" as far as weight and inches etc.. I'm taking time off work through mid-January to reset everything about life, learn how to prep my meals and what I can/can't eat, and by late December I want to get back to the gym, etc.. I love forums like this where we can all learn together and share information and experiences.

November sleevers we have quite a few buddies going in soon for their surgeries . I challenge everyone to keep up with the calendar and on the day of anyone's surgery we each send 1 word of advice or encouragement we have learned to pass on to them. we have learned so much about what to do and what not to do let's pass on a piece on that day to our buddies.. Sounds Good ?

      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.
