Ok question is the sleeve the same thing as gastric bypass? Cuz that's what I had done I

Sure it's no different right? Or is it?

I hardly ever drink soda I'm more of a Water girl always have been. As for proton drinks witch do you all recommend? Because when I first had y surgery I was not able to keep them down from the smell and taste so after trying like 15 different brands I just stopped trying and got my proton from fish chicken n meat. Took me a long time to be able to eat eggs again. I'm going to try going back to the start ill keep telling myself I'm fresh out surgery and I have to follow what te doc said. Good idea I don't know why I didn't think of that lol ill fish out all my papers I saved. Thanks you have been helpful

The sleeve is different from bypass, but welcome here just the same! Some weight gain could be from moving. I read that the stress of moving is equivalent to losing a love one (who knew) But I completely agree, go back to basics. Go to the website "5 day pouch test" and try that diet. It takes you for 5 days, 1: Clear Liquids, 2: full liquids, 3: mushies, 4: soft and 5 regular. That may help getting back on track. Good 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.
