I had my sleeve on 3/7/13 and I am down 20#. But have dizziness and no energy. I added power aide to help with the light headed feelings. Not much pain but I am hungry, I want to eat.

I was telling lain privately that I had a food meltdown last night. Not bc I wanted to cheat but just because of the finality of the way I used to and loved to eat. I knew this would be difficult emotionally in ways I coulfnt fathom pre op, and I was so right. For the first little bit we may regret this decision. Until we are retrained. And then we will be free.

I'm up 2.4 pounds today than yesterday and i don't even care. I just want to heal and get past the food addiction. Weight loss is a bonus.

      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.
