*1*- I can still(and do) drink/tolerate alcohol/wine like I use to before surgery.

*2*- I eat whatever I want, whenever I want (except bread and carbo drinks) I just do it in small portions.

*3*- I stopped taking all my Vitamins due to cost.

*4*-I almost never work out.

*5* I feel guilty not telling my overweight adult daughters about my surgery.

I confess: I eat too much still.

I confess: I drink sonic diet cranberry limeade

I confess: I don't count anything( Protein or calories)

I confess: I am a great Vitamin taker & Water drinker.

I confess: to eating 4 donuts last week... In one day.

I confess: I am figuring out I will work harder than my sleeve if I want to lose weight.

I confess that I gained 5 lbs over the holidays. That I fell back into a pattern of grazing. That I eat chocolate everyday again. And that I am finding it nearly impossible to get my head back in the right place to continue my journey. And all of this is depressing the hell out of me which just makes me want more bad food.< /p>

1. I never followed my 2 week pre-op diet and might have actual gained weight.

2. I quit smoking 2 weeks before surgery but cheated at least two dozen times in 14days. Twice, 2 days before surgery.

3. I ate a 10oz steak sandwich, medium rare, and a taco Soup the night before my surgery @ the Marriot in Mexico.

4. I followed my post-op diet up until day 7. I am now eating deli meats, cheeses, eggs and tuna 8 days post op.

5. With the above said, I do feel a little guilty because my surgery went better than expected... Minimal pain, incision healing very well and no need for pain meds 3 days post-op. I have no issues getting in all my Water and Protein 4 days post-op and feel I am going to be one of those guys who can eat anything I want without upsetting my sleeve. Icing on the cake is I have lost 25lbs since surgery... I am 9 days post op. I had my last smoke 2 days before surgery and have no cravings to ever start again.

      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.
