To be honest with you I did have regrets the day after surgery, because this was something new for me. But now I have no regrets because I see some changes with my body, I walked today & didn't get tired or my back didn't hurt and......I can reach body parts that I had trouble reaching, lol

Thanks for the honesty!!! i look forward to reaching neglected parts! hee hee

I was sleeved on June 4th as well. Haven't been in too much pain. Just frustrated that every sip I take hurts going down. I have tried cold, warm, small sips everything and nothing helps. I also have the gurgiling with each sip. How long before it stops? I'm not trying to complain, really. Just eager to feel sort of normal again.

How much was your start weight ? I had the gurgling because my dic left my esophagus tighter because he said I have more weight to lose. I have very little of it now but the hurting didn't happen to me. Hope you feel better.

      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.
