Good Morning sleevers !

Today is my first week and I'm 18lbs down ! Extremely excited. That's all the motivation I need to continue pushing forward . First few days were extremely hard , but that feeling of trying to eat even if it's little it's painful so it stops you right in your tracks . Week 2 lets gooooo! ☺

Day 5, all well except every sip of Protein or Jello comes right out, every time I pass gas something comes out. Should I be concern?

Don't be jealous. When is the last time you lost 5 pounds in 8 days? :) You'll get there. Just follow your doctor's recommendations. :)

I'm 2weeks out and I have to tell u at first I felt no hunger at all but I started on mushy foods now and all though I don't feel hunger pains like I use to my body tells me when I'm Hungary I feel a little shaky and jittery but no hunger pains at all so don't worrie.. Now head hunger has kicked in a few times and I found myself lookin in the fridge and pantry but then I realized I just ate and was able to control it.. Don't stress it you'll do fine it is different for everyone I found ice chips were my best friend in the hospital but some people say they can't drink anything cold! I love ice in everything I drink so I'm glad I choose the ice chips because I think that set my tummy up to be able to handle cold drinking.. Idk I might me nuts..lol.. But unr right about preparing your mind I did the same thing I read everything I could get my hands on an all the post and people on here helps a lot don't be afraid to ask questions everyone on this site is always there to lend a helping hand.. Now 2wks out I don't have any trouble drinking and getting my fluids in now Protein that's another story the shakes I loved before I can't stomach now! But I'm working on it just remember to be cautious and go slow and u will do fine... Good luck and keep us posted on your date so we can all send a little prayer up for u on that date...

      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.
