I was sleeved on 4/11 and last night was the first night I was able to sleep in my bed! I have been sleeping in our recliner because I am so bloated and it was uncomfortable.....ah the little things

I was also sleeved on 4/11. The recliner is my new best friend. I can lie flat in bed for a couple of hours but not much longer.

I am doing great!! Had my first post op visit with surgeon today. I am cleared to go back to work & do anything I feel like doing. Down 8lbs since surgery :). No problems getting my fluids in but still struggling to get all my Protein in. The frisbee sized (j/k) chewable vitamins are horrible. How is it going for you?

Protein is hard....I gag on the shakes! Going to look for something else tomorrow. I am down 13 pounds but again not getting everything in! Ugh

I know how you feel!!! The shakes made me gag and turn my stomach! Hang in there! Ur in the 2nd hardest phase! But soon you will be able to get your Protein with foods. I went and got some New Whey 40 grams of Protein Shots that are 3 oz at Vitamin store and ate that with some greek yogart. But spread the shot out during the day if you go that rout. It made me feel crappy if i drank it in one sitting. Yuck! Just the thought of a Protein Shake makes me gag!!! You are almost outta the shakes phase, then on to better things! Lol

      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.
