I'm drinking my shakes but I'm eating oatmeal, and I don't know if I can have it but I have been eating it three days and that's spinach. I chew very well haven't had any problems with drinking or eating. I walked 30 mins tonight and I felt great afterwards....loving this life and the people in it.

I too was sleeved the 10th at 7:30 am lol bout same here really tired soreness getting better I had 2 hernia repairs along with mine. I am sleeping in my bed and nothing could feel better than your own bed! Try rolling onto your side instead of sitting up its alot easier. Not getting all my fluids in either ' date=' I am really trying thou. Tired beyond tired is the word. I hope I bounce back soon. Good luck keep in touch <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> we can do this!!!![/quote']

So I slept in my bed last night. It was nice still woke up quite a bit, but my back doesn't really ache this morning like it has been. So that is a plus!! :) Just keep reminding myself one day at a time, and I am so ready to feel normal again and have some energy back!!! :) I had planned on asking my doctor if I could go back to work after 1 week, but I am pretty sure I am going to take the 2 full weeks off!!

Jillb lets do this girl!! Oxtober 17th!! Ill try to check in soon after to say how it went..

We will do this! Good luck gf.... I'll try to check in asap after surgery as well. I am so ready for this. You will be in my prayers deltatrans44.

My surgery will be at 7:30 but will take a little longer than normal. They have to reverse my nissen fundoplication. For those of you who do not know what that is... it is where they wrap a portion of your stomach around your esophagus in order to control reflux. It seemed to have come undone.

The liquid diet has not been bad for me. I have am on "clear" liquids for 6 days now and am not hungry yet (thanks to the nissen fundoplication) but would like to have something good to eat before surgery... nope.. I won't break this liquid diet.... just dreaming...lol

Good luck to all of us having our sleeves done this week! Happy Sleeve Day!

No I haven't tried my favorite Diet Pepsi that I would love to have. What does ur dr say about carbonated drinks.

Let me know how the tuna does. I knew the fish was too much. It had breading. I was craving it so I really thought my body needed whatever it provided.

Hi everyone! Best of luck to all of you having your surgery soon. God bless and have a speedy recovery.I am about 11 days out. I feel really good. I went to a wedding on saturday and I even danced twice! I felt really good but perhaps I over did it. On sunday at church I got a SUPER sharp burning pain on my right side of my tummy. I've been doing really good otherwise. Fluids and Protein Drinks all good! My Soups are getting a ltittle boring. I may try my own chicken and veggie Soup and blend it! That taste of canned soups isn't that good. My dad makes my other soups, but like I said, I get bored easily. Hope everyones doing well. I will figure out how to update my traker ticker or whatever it called, really soon!!

I'm freaking starving today. I am 6 days in to my liquid diet and I am having a hard time. Unfortunately I am cooking for the family and that makes it worse.

I'm with you there! I'm on day four of full liquid, and I'm dying!. I cheated today and ate 3 townhouse crackers. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's the principle that I cheated. Hopefully these are words we will never use again. Oh to be hungry no more. Good luck to you!

      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.
