Hi guys. I'm scheduled for May 8th. I'm more afraid of not doing the right thing after surgery than the surgery itself. I'm waiting for my life to chage as well!

I was sleeved May 3 and am doing good. I had my surgery in Mexico so I just got home today. I am starting my Protein Shakes in the morning. The first 24 hours were rough with nausua and pain. I don't have much pain now but just a bit weak and sore. I am not hungry and need to find a way to remind myself to drink. Still hurts sometimes when i take too big of a mouthful of drink. I lost 12lbs during preop and have lost 4 more pounds since surgery for a total loss of 16lbs in 3.5weeks...How are you guys doing?

I'm doing well. I lost 16 on pre-op, and now 9 since the surgery on Friday, so down 25 total. Feeling pretty well. I feel hungrier than I thought. I am gaving no problems getting down 3 protien shakes, 2 cups of broth, jellow, and lots of flavored drinks.< /p>

      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.
