Good luck to everyone going this week! I can't wait for the 23rd to get here for my turn. Although I am anxious with trying to prepare for the liquid diet I start on the 16th and that part if things. The actual surgery doesn't have me worried but everything else does! Lol

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to wish my fellow January sleevers good luck!!

I am 5 days post op and I'm feeling terrific! Since I got home I have felt well enough to cook, clean, do laundry, grocery shop, etc.

I'm so thankful to be sleeved. I'm down 32lbs since I started my pre-op diet.

I hope everyone who has been sleeved is also feeling great. Good luck to those of you getting sleeved soon. You won't regret it!

I am one week from today! January 16th at 1:00 pm. I was doing great on liquid diet having just a few cups of spinach or carrots and cucumber with rice vinegar, but hit a wall today! For the first time in a week I wanted food so bad I cried!

Feeling like a failure (I ate a piece of cheese and 3 mini pretzels) I came to bed. Now so upset I can't sleep. I want this so much, why am I so freaking weak!???! Ok thanks for letting me air it out- done with pitty party and try to rest.

Prayers for all is Jan sleeves!! God bless you all and good luck.

Sarah,

I'm 5'9"... Good luck tomorrow!!! What's your goal? I'm shooting for 100 lost by August 6th :)

Good luck to you too. I don't have any specific goals. I'm just going to do as much as I can as fast as I can. These first 6 months will be crucial I think. I'm gonna work my booty off, LITERALLY!!

I check in at 11:15. I'm looking forward to hearing how you're doing.

Sarah

      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.
