Hi , I Am Home And Feeling Great!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I made it home from Mexico. I feel fantastic. Gas is a little heavy, I am slow at getting in some fluids but overall life is good. Our flight was layed over in Houston so we did not get home and in bed until 3am but all is well. I will write more later this afternoon, time for a nap...lol. I am so happy and most of all very thankful for all the prayers!!!!!

:)

One thing, the entire experience was much better than I would of ever expected, it was awesome.

Hello, I'm new here, but glad to find this site & read through people's experiences. I just got my sleeve on January 31, 2012 and have already lost 7lbs. I am struggling to get enough Protein in my diet & usually end up eating only 2 meals a day. I have one more week of liquids & am looking forward to eating 'real" food, rather than just Protein Drinks. I am getting so I can't choke down the protein drinks anymore (before the surgery I would just drink them fast so I couldn't taste them as much, blech).

Any suggestions?

Glad to hear it went well. I am right in front of you at day 7 post op. I am doing good too. I have had no nausea or vomiting! Lots of gurgling though, which is annoying. I will know how much I lost tomorrow at my first post op visit. Cant wait to eat normal food. I am a little worried that I feel like I could eat anything..ugh Dont want to get myself in trouble.

      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.
