I have a question I'm three and a half weeks. And I still tend to have a pain on my right side kind of by my ribs I'm assuming it's from the bigger incision but I never hear of anybody complaining about pain still at this point I seen my doctor Friday yeah this is getting better and I said yes and he said ok it will go away but it's frustrating because it's hard for me to work out or do anything because it'll start giving me pain I don't know if my muscle heals wrong or what does anybody else have this issue

Hi I am 5'1 I started at my highest weight at 211 with diet and exercise and phentermine got down to a good 145 but seemed to gain real easy and kept yo yo-ing after a knee injury and went all the way up to 178....so determined not to gain anymore I knew I couldn't do it with just diet alone and maintain without the sleeve so will be getting it done Oct 13th. So I am hoping this will work.

I'm a bit nervous my rep mention that I'm probably the most petite patient they've ever had. I'm already a complicated case because I was born with my intestines on the outside so I have multiple adhesions or scar tissue in my abdominal cavity

      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.
