I must admit this is a little harder than I anticipated. I had terrible nausea and dry heaves for the first day and a half. Now I am just working with the acid reflux and sleeve spasms. Please tell me it gets better!

Sweety, it gets better. focus on yourself only. take small sips don't worry so much about the Protein, walk a little bit, sip. I'm 10 days out and I still am tired, I'm still sore, but I got the drain out yesterday and am already feeling like I'm crossing some hurdle. I questioned my decision once a day since the day after surgery. Day 1 I was a rock star, I walked like 5 times, day 2 was my hardest day. For the next week or so you are going to have ups and downs, just bear with it and it will get easier.

Yes things will get better - really they will -

But you now have a life sentence with the sleeve. But don't worry, the life will be good.

This is a totally new style of living, and eating. The expression "Live to eat" or "Eat to Live" is very true. I used to be in the first catagory.

Life will change for you - and you will be healthier and feel better, and getting a little slimmer is a plus too.

take care

best of luck

      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.
