If anyone in the Dallas area would like to get together just let me know. I'm almost 2 months out...and would be happy to answer any questions (although I am by no means an expert) and the companionship would be great.

Sleeved a week ago yesterday in Dallas by Dr. James Davidson. Basically NO pain after surgery. I had a migrine that was a killer, a side affect from the paid meds, but once I could take MY prescription meds the next morning I was 'tender' but pain free. I took Tylenol w/Cod only at night to help me relax and sleep, but mostly so I could sleep on my side comfortably...and did that for six nights. I love the sleeve, I have NO hunger, very weird feeling. I am having trouble getting in enough Protein. It has not happened yet. :biggrin0: How about you that are a year or more out, does the hunger come back at all? I am so full trying to get in protein, it is uncomfortable.

I almost hate protein at this point. I get close but have yet to get it all in. I have been taking an Atkins shake and adding a scoop of Isopure. That is 40 right there. I usually get 3/4 of it down before I decide I just can't stand anymore. Are you coming to the class on Monday? I would love to meet you. I think the doc did a bang up job as far as pain goes. Once I get these staples out I will be a much happier camper. I long for cream Soups.

I am a lot happier with the staples out! He left one, the one in my navel and it came out a couple of days ago, and I'm glad. I was patting dry after my shower and it ended up on the towel! Anyway, I am in Galveston this week, but will be at a nutrition class the a week from tomorrow, will you be there? I'd love to meet you too. I agree, I think he did a bang up job. I am totally off of pain meds for two nights now. I'm doing cream Soups now. I'm trying to be creative. This Protein business is driving me nuts. I'm sitting at a Star bucks now but coffee isn't good to me any more. I hope that doesn't last. I brought my own Decaf iced tea, my husband is drinking coffee. We have no internet at the beach house. What a bummer! Oh well....I'll be back and check my email etc. in a couple of days! Take care!!! Glad you are doing well. Hope to meet you soon!!

      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.
