The doc decided at the last minute the night before that he wanted to wait a little longer.My Bariatric Surgeon has been doing this a while and he just wanted to give my sleeve a little more time to do what it needed to do.None of the swallow studies or scopes gave any indication there was a problem with the sleeve itself.We waited and watched me eat in hospital and they rehydrated me and he sent me home a couple days later and I had a follow up 2 weeks after that.Things are much better I am just taking it day by day trying to get enough Protein in:)

Thank god. Well I hope you keep getting better and your stomach stops trying to be vengeful! I'm glad your surgeon wasn't in a rush to cut and saved you a lot of problems!

      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.
