Ok so I don't feel bad yes definitely I'm sticking to what they told me too lets see what the nutritionist tells me. I've been craving so much OMG ! I hope his goes away it's been so hard the hunger.

I found it much easier to get the fluids in at the hospital too. At home, I worked really hard yesterday and I was only able to get 41 ounces Thts a great idea well today i saw my doctor she started me on Protein shakes I have to drink a shake every 2 1/2 hours and it's so hard right now I'm hungry ugh it's so hard. At least I lost 16 pounds. That would have been a struggle for me without the sleeve 16 pounds so far is awesome!! I have lost 12 so far. How about everyone else? I feel like once I start eating solids I may gain a pound just because there will be food in my stomach but I'm good with that. Feeling great today and water and broth is going down so much easier today than in the past. I start work again on Thursday but from home for a week instead of the office. I'm already restless. If I was off any longer I would be working on home repairs and probably hurt myself. I'm so scared to gain but do you get hungry today I ate lentil soup it's so good for Iron. And tomorrow I see the nutritionist so she can start me on puree foods I can't wait.

Make sure you are nor drinking 30min, before and after you have your shakes...I was told if we drink after, especially you will push the Protein drinks through faster and we won't absorb it. Thats what happens to me,I felt hunger pang and realized I was drink right after eating by 10 min.Now I am by the book doing much better..I look forward to to Jello and pops to curb I. Between and broth oh YUMMYY LOL:( On Wed, I go to one soft meal at dinner !!! Yeah sometimes I forget I need more Water intake I need to add crystal light to the water so much water has me a bit tired of it. Are you allowed to eat puree foods yet or yogurt? What shakes do you buy for protein ? Well tomorrow I have to see my nutritionist I'm hoping I can eat something else other then protein shakes and soups I actually tried twice the Greek yogurt but omg i felt it was so heavy for me does that happen to you ?and I tried lentil soup being that it's so good for Iron and that was ok Have you eaten anything outside of what your supposed to eat ?

How do you make your Soup I'm always on Pinterest trying to get ideas. I can't believe it's a week yay we've made it how exciting ! And which shakes you buy

If I was off any longer I would be working on home repairs and probably hurt myself Hah funny you say that I'm home myself and I'm literally looking around to see what to do what can k change from the curtains to the color of the walls. Lol I'm going crazy the dr gave me a second week she wants to make sure the Protein Shakes are helping me and that j won't pass out at work. I can't wait to start puree I'm noticing around my stomach that's not only the cuts are healing fast but my stomach has gone down a lot I can't wait to start working out today I woke up less active. I don't know if that's a normal thing but I'm trying to take it easy. I wish I could work from home too

That's great I'm almost a week post op I lost 12 pounds and I get this hunger feeling OMG

That's the same struggle I'm going through now o had surgery the 23 of feb. tired of the same today I was starving at least I thought I was I sip on tea to kill the hunger and I'm still on broth jello icy popsicles Monday they start me on protein shakes ugh it's so hard considering I'm the one who cooks at home I lost 12 pounds and I think it was all water from the iv and liquid diet they have me on I just can't wait to eat regular foods even if it is smaller portions. How many ounces are you intaking?

I was ok once i was at the Hopsital on IV and their foods like teas and jello and broth and also icy but now the biggest challenge is trying to continue the same routine that I was on at the hospital I've been drinking so much water and today i was starving. Even when i drank tea I was still hungry. Trying to drink 2-3 ounces is so hard it was a lot easier in the hospital. Monday they put me on proteins right now I'm struggling I get light headed and try to walk and keep active but I get tired easily I guess it's cause I'm on this liquid diet

I know my friend had to do a week prior to surgery it all depends on the insurance too. And the doctor too i think it also depends on the results of your blood tests. With me everything came out normal just that I'm pre-diabetic but other then that my liver was ok. It all depends I asked my nutritionist the same and she said that every doctor is different

Yes but only 24 hours prior to surgery

I know exactly the feeling I'm scheduled for the 23rd so nervous !

Yea feb 23 !!!

Feb 23 so excited finally after 6 months waiting ????????????????????

Congrats I'm still waiting on my date it's going to make almost 2 weeks I've lost 7 lbs during the 6 month nutrition required by my insurance and I gained it back. So anxious hoping they call me soon. I am also pre diabetic . How long did it take to receive your surgery date ?

Ugh I've been feeling the same way I did my 6 months nutrition plan did the EKG the blood works now I called my insurance they said it shows as a approval then it shows as hold its been a week and still it's pending I called my coordinator she said it takes about 2 weeks ugh I'm so anxious I hope they call me soon

Welcome !!! I'm also a single mom out of choice of a 18 year old and a 11.5 year old it's a hard hard routine and I can So relate because I also don't have that extra support to get my kids or to buy groceries so everything is on me. But I try to keep moving if I'm cleaning I try to get in as much movement as I can. At work I'm at a office 7 hours sitting so I try to get off my chair and walk around the other offices as much as I can. My body is too tired to get up at 5 am to work out so I try the best I can to do leg lifts even if it's in the bathroom at work anytime I have free time I try to do squats or anything that involves movement

God bless you and the journey you've gone through to get where your at today your very strong and motivated I'm sorry you have gone through so much and I am sorry for your lost you have gained 2 guardian angels who will be there cheering for you when you feel down God bless

Is that when you get the surgery ?
