I am changing my June 28 is that close enough to July to be a group member? Right now I am day 4 of the liquid diet and am wondering can I do this… I am looking forward to the soft foods portion a month away… lol and when I can start having mashed things!!! And this is when I already fast all Saturday due to chronic pain… from an accident by a teen texter… it is a long story … but I know after the journey gets me to where I can walk again better And pain is less it will be worth it…

Hello and welcome! Your surgery day is coming soon. I envy you, actually. My date is July 27th. Looking forward to connecting with you! I also have some physical limitations and it's my health issues that motivated me to the sleeve. I was on the fence for a while on which surgery to have, but I settled on this one so far. Keep us posted on how you're doing. You CAN do this. You deserve to do this. You and I (and others) will be returning here in weeks and months to come to declare how happy we are we followed through. You got this! 🙌

My change is set for July 3rd, 2023. I have to check in at 5 AM. I am somewhat nerves. I have to be on a SF, low sodium diet for 14 days. Any encouragement out there?

You got this! It won’t be easy, but it can’t be any harder than the road you have already traveled. Just keep thinking about the healthier, happier you on the other side!

@RedE2goAimee Thank you so much for the encouragement. You are so right. The path I had before this has caused a lot of negative things in my life. This life changing event will definitely be for my 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.
