Oh yes liquid diet starts October 27 but I'm allowed yogurt veggies and Turkey or chicken 2oz. A day very small portions. I'm so ecstatic. Love this forum for my outlet!!!!

HI! Congrats on your upcoming sleeve! I took one week off and returned to work( a desk job). I was tender but doing well. The only thing is you have to be very careful that you are able to get up and stretch and walk every hour or so because risk of blood clot. I have had a pulmonary embolism due to this from a prior surgery, so its no joke.

Taking 3 weeks off from work :) we have fmla and short term disability so I'm excited!!! I saved 4 vacation days as well. I return to work Nov 26th. I too have an office job so I will definitely keep that in mind :) I work at a huge toy company and black Friday is like our #1 day. My boss said I can work it only if I'm cleared by the surgeon :) I am tempted because we get double time and a half but only if I'm well enough!!

tatylish,

Since you will have been sleeved 2 weeks prior to your brothers wedding, IMO you will be especially conscientious of NOT eating those nasty foods - you won't want to mess up

having WLS one day after b'day - great motivator to enter your 26th year of a better healthier, happier life

good luck with WLS

speedy recovery

      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.
