Hi all! I'm three days post op...living in Texas but native to the Walled Lake/Wixom area (southwestern Oakland county). My heart...and most of my family...are still in Michigan. Happy to say that it's been pretty smooth so far. First 24 hours wasn't so much fun...nausea and gas interfered with taking in much of anything, but it's improved since then. :)

My question is, how did you all figure out the "pacing" of your intake so that you didn't overwhelm your sleeve, but take in the amounts you should be? This seems to be my biggest problem at the moment.

All good. Down 58. Happy with that. Still need to get in more exercise. Working 50-60 hr weeks & will be the same in Sept so finding it difficult to work it in.

My surgery was 8/29/13 by Dr. Katz from st johns providence in Southfield. No problems and the care I received was exceptional!! Went home the next day and my Dr called to make sure I was comfortable. Every person I came in contact with was superb!

      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.
