I wasn't sleeved yet but a Call to the doc might be your best bet. Congrats to you and best of luck to your husband.

He's not lactose intolerant and drinking a bunch of milk, is he? Could it be spit that's coming back up for some reason or a sinus infection maybe? Definitely give the surgeons office a call!

I'm getting sleeved Feb 20 the just a few days away. I'm starting to freak out, I have to admit I did cheat on the pre open diet and had a small sandwich on Friday :( I don't know what to do! Did I ruin everything? I am back on Protein Shakes, Jello, tea, Water and broth.< /p>

they only ask for you to do the best you can ! I think we have all cheated.. some worse than others and we still had the surgery

My surgery is also on Feb 25th. I've lost about 5lbs on the Preop diet. I started a week early. About 9lbs to go for my pre-surgery goal. Not going to make it but feel good about losing 44lbs on my own.

Good luck everyone!

I don't have the support of my family they are in Florida I am in NY. My husbands family does not know I have not told them I don't want them to know because they are a bit negative I told a friend of the family who I thought would be supportive and was horrified by her response.

I regret telling her anything I ended up telling her I decided not to do it' date=' joined a gym and doing herbalife just to get her off my back.

I hate lying to people this is not me, I feel ashamed as if I'm doing something shameful. My sister and friends from Florida support me they will help me get through this. My husband is also my rock he is behind me.![/quote']

I understand about not telling people about having the surgery. I'm 5'6 and highest weight 205. I've lost and gained all my life. So people don't understand why I want to do this but I've come to realize it isn't for them to understand just for me to know its what's best for my life. This is a huge step for all of us towards a healthier happier life. I'm proud of all of us.

      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.
