12 days til surgery and my main support system is pretty much gone. I'll have to figure out how to do this on my own, but like so much of the many other obstacles I've overcome, I will get through it. I always do. I'm heartbroken, scared & disappointed.

@shelleyrn22 Sending a big cyber hug your way! You are strong and you will get through this!

I am 5 days post op and every day is better than the one before. I did end up staying two nights in the hospital with nausea issues and am thankful I was given that option. Meds make the difference, that is for sure. And that Lortab...great stuff! All in all, I am feeling good and looking forward to feeling even better!

you will definitely get through this and come out much better on the other side!! I, too am going through with this on my own as my partner decided he didn't love me, after dragging me across the other side of the country where I know nobody, have no friends, no family and for a short time - no roof over my head!! I look forward to the day that he spots me looking totally fabulous and happily on the arm of another man! Keep your chin up :) focus on yourself and all that you are going to achieve!!

Egg salad?? I was sleeved on May 1 and haven't made it to the egg part yet... it's supposed to be week 4 for me! I'm eating apple sauce, yogurt, Soups, tofu, sweet potato.... i can't do any of the Protein Shakes. GO BUY ISOPURE!! I like the pineapple/orange/banana. It's the ONLY Protein Drink that I can actually get down. I can't stand the taste of 100% whey protein isolate. But this stuff has it in it, don't know how they do it, but i can't taste it! And I've tried really hard to taste it!! It's a 20 oz bottle w/ 40 g of protein. One a day. And counts as 20oz liquid

GOOD LUCK!!! The night after surgery was a little rough, but the next morning, every hour was an improvement. I had no naseau, just the gas pain issues from the surgery. ANd now, day 13 after surgery, 18 lbs lost since surgery and no issues with moving anymore. No issues with incisions (actually all healed and just tiny little scabs). If I had to say, my expectations were far worse than the actual process!!!

I agree, my expectations were far worse than the surgery itself & the recovery! I thought I would be in a ton of pain, hard to swallow liquid, scared of the operation. Everything was a breeze!

I was sleeved on 5/10 just on Clear liquids for 7-8 days, adding in Protein shakes on day 10. Hope I still like the ones I have at home (I am not home yet, recovering in a hotel in Mexico right now!) & my tastes haven't changed too much.

The Isopure, is that like a milky consistency or clear? I didn't like any of the clear ones before I got sleeved. Where do you buy Isopure?

My favorites before getting sleeved were EAS advantage chocolate & Chike banana & chike strawberry.

Amazing that I am not really hungry, but know I need to have something now... at least to take my meds!

I think GNC is who carries the isopure, and it is clear....

Another great non milky ones are the nectar powders. I love the fuzzy naval flavor and the lemon tea tastes like instant iced tea. I bet it would be good with half a scoop of the lemonade flavor. I got it at mybariatricpantry.com

      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.
