Hello all... I am approved for the Sleeve on the 25th w/ Dr.Patel in San antonio @ Innova Hospital....I am currently on my 2 week pre-op and it totally frustrating...The shakes are not bad (got the NSI whey Isolate from Vitacost). I am a night time eater and do good all day until around 5/6 o'clock and wow everything is tempting and the S/F Jello..yuck!!!! I am doing Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and them 3oz. lean meat and vegetable.. Snacks include S/F jello, a piece of jack links meat sticks and a cheese stik.. I am very nervous about going into the hospital (not the surgery..that is exciting..) Absolutely love this site.. Thanks all for everything posted..such great info..

I'm so excited for you! I just got approved today, but not scheduled until the Christmas holidays. I'm not looking forward to the 2 week liquid diet. Just like you, the nights are the hardest. I lived in SA for 5 years and my BFF from SA is the one who convinced me to have the surgery. She had the lapband and has lost over 100 pounds. Her two gf's had the sleeve and have lost 125 and 90! I can't wait for the all new me. Best of luck to you.

Congratulations!!!

I was just approved on Wed. after 6 months of insurance-required weight monitoring. I guess I must be lucky b/c my surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, except for 24 pre-op. Of course liquids AFTER surgery, but nothing really before. I thought I would be eating crazy and trying to eat everything I love before next week, but so far today I've had 1 egg on a 100 calorie toaster thin bread, 1/2 of a chesse & ground beef quesedilla (from leftovers and the tortilla was a life balance low-carb one), a protien bar and about 3 cups of popcorn. dinner will probably be a salad and some protien.

Sorry, I just realized I put food items listed in my post on a post where you are struggling with a liquid diet. I hope you keep up with the plan they have you on, I know it is difficult!!! (I did an all liquid diet for 7 months one time about 13 years ago...Medifast...ugh!)

Anyway, hang in there and keep posting!
