February 20th! I have been "stalking" this site for months now and finally have a concrete date to look forward to so I figured I would share. Good luck to my fellow February sleevers (and other procedures :))!!

I’m scheduled for feb 3rd

Same surgery date! Are you in the pre-op diet phase? Ugh, although from reading through these posts mine is more liberal than some. I get one "meal" a day; 2 Protein Shakes and 2 "snacks". How is yours going?

My surgery will be at Brigham and Women in Boston. Where is yours?

I just found out my surgery date today so no I haven’t started liquids yet. She said I can start on Monday. My plan is the same 2 shakes a day plus one small meal with small portion of mean and no starchy veggies. I’m in WV but getting surgery in VA

I am getting my required nicotine testing done next week, then its just waiting while they send all the info to the insurance company. I am thinking end of February maybe early March surgery date, fingers crossed. It's been a long road - these darn cigarettes. I completed all my other requirements but was struggling to quit smoking. I finally got it- and I am 30 days clean as of Monday, I feel really good about it and no longer having any cravings. Hopefully they don't ding me too hard on the weight gain.

30 Days is great! Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I have ever done; and it is something I am still grateful for even 12 years and 60 pounds later....Good luck getting through the process for approval!

      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.
