Ok guys!

Yesterday marked ONE whole week since I had my sleeve done and it was also the date of my first post-op doctor's appointment. Of course, I was anxious about what they would tell me but it went well. I told them that for some resin the backs of both of my legs were tender and they really didn't have an explanation for that :( and that my heart rate seemed elevated, but I am not experiencing any fever in addition to that. I know that when fever and a rapid heart rate is combined it signifies that there is a possible LEAK!!! So that was good news... The best part of the visit was the weigh in... I'M DOWN 30...yes THIRTY POUNDS in one week... I'm excited.

Yea...it's exciting and scary all at the same time, but I think it's a good start seeing as though I still have about 150 pounds to go. I went to the gym today for the first time and took it easy. I am excited!

      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.
