I am soo happy with the results my only regret is that I should have done it earlier i was approved last year in sept 2012 but I chickened out finally got it done 2 weeks ago .I don't feel hungry all the time I think about other things now instead of food. Feel much better much more confident much more active ... :)

Thanks for listening I am grateful for all the info and support here..

I kinda am getting that nervous feeling now. Like what if I'm doing the wrong thing? What if some major complication happens? Then I think I've researched everything and know it will be 2 weeks recovery and about 1 1/2 months of "special" diet but after that this is the tool I need to help me feel full--allow me to eat some-- but keep me on track.

My surgery was about 3 and 1/2 weeks ago.....so glad I did it too....I am also not hungry yet....I have lost 25 pounds since surgery :)

Hi- this is my first time on this website. I had my sleeve 11 days ago. I am struggling with the post surgery liquid diet. It just seems so difficult and I still am craving foods. Any suggestions?

You are going through one of the trying times that will thankfully be just a memory soon. Keep your eye on the prize and a positive attitude

My suggestion is to speak to your Bariatric team. They should be able to help and may see that you are to progress some.

      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.
