Hi Sleeveshelly. When was your surgery and how much have you lost? I like that you were able to have cottage cheese while he was having prime rib..... I was in the early phases and was only able to have liquids and I went to a restaurant with my family and was so looking forward to a vegetable beef Soup from this restaurant. Got there and they didn't make it for that day. I ended up having just au jus. I was so disappointed and had to watch my family eat their meals......

Oh wow Shelly that's a rough one!! Are you sleeved already or are you doing the pre-op; diet? Sometimes our families aren't as supportive as we want or need, just remember though that your VST family is here for you :D

Proud of you! I know what you mean. When I was on a liquid preop we had company and went to this great restaurant and everyone had all these appetizers and great meals, and I had butternut squash Soup and took my sugar-free Jello and RTD Protein Drink with with me! Told the waiter I was having surgery and on a liquid diet and he actually bent over backwards to see if he could find something exciting for me to drink! Don't worry your time will come. Just do what you are supposed to do and your time will be here before you know it!

I was sleeved on 9/12. I have lost 34 lbs. I can eat anything that I can tolerate, staying away from sugar and carbs. I don't like to pay for a whole meal when I can only eat 1/4 cup. So I usually just only order a side.

Great job!!!! I usually order a side too but my hubby usually lets me have a bite or two of his steak or hamburger which really helps. Keep up the good work!!!

Way to stay strong SleeveShelly!

I have personally loved the cost savings we now enjoy going out to eat and food shopping. Leftovers last us for 2-3 additional meals!

You could have at least LICKED the prime rib, right? Would serve him right for putting you through that! :P

      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.
