Thanks Chilo1! I appreciate the post. I think once I get off this 2 week post op clear liquid phase and get back to work, I too will try and get my family to eat better. I think we ALL could use a complete overhaul! I love the fact that we all are going to be more healthy and strong for each other. And when that fast food crap has to come into the house due to son's late soccer practice or game I will go straight into another room. Thanks for the support!

I think that is a good idea to go in another room. I guess I am trying to be strong for my family and tell them it is ok that they eat whatever they want. Inside it is killing me. Thanks for the help! Definitely gonna try it!! One day at a time, One day at a time, One day at a time........

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for replying. I will definitely take that advice and live it one day at a time. Thanks again!

Hi everyone. Had my sleeve done on Monday, March 7th. I am really having a hard time. I thought I wouldnt have all the cravings anymore but I am having them all the time. Do you know how many food commercials there are on TV? I have a few questions... 1-What does a typical day supposed to look like? For example, how much on a given day do you eat and drink? I am supposed to only have liquids like broth, Jello and popcicles. 2-Am I supposed to be eating anything else? Like protien..How do you get yours in? This is harder emotionally than I thought it would be. I am so glad that I chose this path but I am having a hard time adjusting. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!! I am sure you are really excited for your day to get here. I know I was. Just preparing the house with all the foods and Vitamins I needed post surgery was fun. Keep us posted and cant wait to hear all your updates as you progess through your journey!!

That is awesome!!! I can't wait until I reach that goal too!! Congratulations!!!

Hi just had mine on march 7th with Dr Leiva. So glad to have found y'all!!

I feel your pain. I hate the protien shakes!! I am in the 2 weeks liquid phase of this-Day 6 to be exact. I am not sure how to get the protien I need without drinking those damn shakes. Any suggestions that you have learned since this post?

I am so glad I read this post. I am 6 days post surgery and I have the same stuff going on. Sometimes very painful that it takes my breath away. I am happy to know that at least the pain goes away. Thanks!!
