I haven't been sleeved yet (11/12 is my date). so are you saying that you wish someone brought in gas x strips? Does the hospital not want to give you any? After today, it will probably start to get better each and every day. I'll send good wishes your way! Just think, the worst is over and it can only get better from here!

Move as much as you can... there is really not much else I can suggest... I know it is a pain - just focus on the positives

you will be losing weight for the first time in a long time... this is going to change every aspect of your life... you will feel better about yourself and in general, overall... life will be easier in so many ways

I am 8 weeks out and do not remember ever feeling as good as I do right this minute...

I am jogging in my first ever 5K on October 27... YOU CAN DO THIS

I know you are weak and in pain, but get up and move... hang your legs over the side of the bed and kick them... wave your arms... walk laps around the room... move move move... keep your eyes focused on the goal of living and feeling better, and get up!!!

      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.
