I haven't tried anything warm. I can tolerate crystal light lemonade and GNC chocolate lean Protein Shakes so I happy for now.

I'm glad that you found something that you can tolerate. I was lucky I didn't have any complications whatsoever. My husband who had his surgery June 24, 2013 was regretting it, I told him that I didn't think that this was right for him, but all that he could see was the weight loss.

I'm in New Orleans area too. Maybe we can get together for walking or support group. I plan to attend the August 13th session at Ochsner if you want to meet.

That would be nice; I found out that Humana received my paperwork on July 29th. The waiting game has begun.

It does get better. Your stomach is still swollen, you will be able to taken in more when the swelling goes down. Sip, sip, sip and sip some more. Sipping and walking together helped me out a great deal.

Awesome. I hope we can be as supportive to you as you've been to all of us.

By the way I'm a Michigander, too.

When I was first sleeved it took me an hour to drink 8oz of Protein. I would drink all day long from 8 AM to 2 AM to get in my 64 ounces and 70 grams of protein because I didn't want to get dehydrated and yes it hurt if I drank to fast, so you do have to sip all day long.

      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.
