Welcome, and Happy (late) Boxing Day!

I also had my sleeve just two weeks ago tomorrow. I hope you stick around and share your journey with us! I know that those folks with surgeries pending in 2010 will relish the details of our progress just as we did the details of those before us!

Hi, I am 7 months out now from surgery on what was one of the best decisions I have ever ever made in my whole life and if I can help any of you in any way I will. I am so much healthier and happier than I was, in fact over Christmas I have been exercising and still enjoying the festive cheer. A 60 minute walk and a nice couple of pints of real ale in a local pub. Quality living ;-) Like a normal person really!

      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.
