How's everyone doing? I had surgery Tues and came home today. Little scare Tues nite when my heart rate stayed around 39-42, but EKG came back fine. I kept down 18g of Protein today and feel pretty good with that. Also had a hiatal hernia fixed, which is what I think most of my discomfort is coming from.

sleeved on 4-24-13 started at 218 down to 158 as of this morning. Feeling great, not one issue. hair starting to fall out but i have so much it's not an issue. I eat what ever i want in moderation. I drink what ever i want as well. Only issue i have is food just doesnt taste good anymore. I eat it because i have to but i no longer have a favorite food. I do make better choices on eating. I eat tons of salad and do my best to stay away from carbs. I do eat carbs though. Today i had 1/2 sandwich and a few chips for lunch.< /p>

Glad to hear that your doing well. I was 248 before pre op 235 day of surgery and 175. I eat and drink what I want as we'll. no carbonation and still only eat a very little amount per day. My hair is also Falling out a ton. I have long thick hair but it is still heartbreaking to see it everywhere. I feel bad for women who have thin hair before takin this journey. I couldn't imagine the amount of hairless I'm experiencing.

      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.
