Yesterday was my first post op doctor appt. I was so surprised when I stepped on the scale. 21 pounds in 10 days! What an amazing feeling. That makes me even more motivated! My doctor said I am ahead of schedule and everything looks good. Got my steri strips removed and I'm finally starting to feel better.... I don't want to get on a scale again until my next appt in 3 weeks. Good luck to my other sleevers!

That's great news :) also I hope I won't be attached to my scale. I only weigh myself once a week but notice when I'm dieting, I weigh myself like daily maybe even twice a day :/ ( bad habit ) !

Good luck and hope your recovery continues to be lovely :)

I am 8 days post op and had my clinic visit this morning. I am down 16 pounds since surgery. I was very proud of myself for being so compliant with the diet (and that is not typical for me to be compliant!) but come to find out only now am I to add back the Bari shakes with almond milk. I have been making those since about 3 days post op. I confessed to my slice of cantaloupe made into a smoothie and they were not real impressed with that. Oh well, my recovery is going strong and for another week I get to have what I have had for most of this week. Minus the cantaloupe smoothie! It is OK to add strained, cream Soup. No regrets about the surgery. In fact, I go long stretches where I forget I had it and think I am still waiting for it!

      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.
