Well I'm 4 days post op and doing well. The pain is only sharp when I get up or sit down but definitely manageable. The food thing is weird! I'm only drinking Liquid Protein, broth and sugar free Jello. It's very strange because when I see other people eat around me I feel like I want a bite but I know it will hurt me if do. So maybe that's how the sleeve surgery works, if you eat anything your not supposed to your body will kick your ass for it! It's very strange to feel mentally hungry but not physically hungry. I guess this will take time to get used to. I'm looking forward to the next phase where I can have yogurt and cottage cheese.< /p>

Congratulations on your decision. Every day is another great reason to Celebrate. I think I was in shock at first and was still trying to wrap my head around this major decision. I bit something about 3 or 4 days ago and realized it was a very dumb mistake. It felt like it took 2 hours to digest. I am 2.5 weeks out. I rarely have pain, maybe a muscle ache here and there. The ironic thing I found is sugary stuff has absolutely no appeal for me. I am very happy about that. Congratulations and good luck.

I am two days out if you don’t the surgery day and I am finding it hard to know what is to much and am eating very little. I don’t have an appetite yet and hope that stays away for a while. Best of luck to you on your journey.

      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.
