Sleeved on 9/17 & back to work. I was a little worried because I live in New York & anyone who is familiar with the city knows the commute can be like a cage fight! Lol. But, I did it!! All the subway stairs I have to walk up wasn't bad at all. Now I just hope my energy lasts the whole day...

Great job! I think getting back into your routine helps so much with recovering from any surgery. Just make sure you don't get too crazy for the first six weeks (no lifting heavy objects) and you'll be fine.

That's awesome!!! Congratulations. That morning commute/cage fight to work certainly is good excercise for you. Especially going up and down the stairs. Good for the circulation. Protein, protein, protein...lol :)

      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.
