Hey y'all. I was wondering if we had anyone from New Orleans in the group. I'm looking to start a meet up for local sleevers. If you interested let me know.

Hi KajunGumbo! That's great! I'm 15 days post op and have lost 15 pounds; 22 since pre- op meeting. I think I had a real easy time compared to some folks. Really glad I did it. Message me anytime!

How much are you eating? Are you handling solids?

I am on soft foods now. You kind of learn how much you can handle pretty quick. Your body has a definite signal, like a catch in your chest, that says you can't eat another bite. I can get about six regular bites, more if you take little tiny ones. Doing great, but kind of overdid last two days taking kids to parades and going out to lunch with friends. Overall, really happy I did this. How are you today??

Completed my preop @ hospital yesterday, heading to Disney for MardiGras until Wednesday. Caught several parades last weekend & last night, that's enough 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.
