Hi everyone. My name is Bonnie and I am 29. I was sleeved November 12, went home on November 14 and came back on November 18 in severe pain. I am NOT trying to scare any one, but I am a part of the 1% that developed a leak. If you guys have any questions or concerns, just let me know and I will try to help!

Hey!! Thx so much. I'm sure you are so excited about Dec. 21 date! I'm excited for you. How long or did you have to do a diet program?

My insurance (anthem bcbs) didn't require one. The program that I am in does require a two week pre-op liquid diet. I'm very thankful that I didn't have to do a 30-60-90 diet as some insurances do have people complete.

I'm not sure why my iPad filled in those numbers for me. I meant to say a 3/6/9 month diet.

      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.
