I was sleeved march 22. Exactly 1 week ago to the hour. Let me say the first 72 hours SUCKED! Now that im a little farther out I am feeling better. I have had trouble getting all my liquids and Protein in but I have found a trick that works for me. Snow cone maker and the bullet Proteins. It really does taste like a treat to me. Good luck....it will be well worth it.

Today is the day that I start up on Purees!

Taking is sloooow, with 2 very soft scrambled eggs for mini-meal 1 (chewed it a lot too). They went down slow and smooth, but I finished them all. I'm still trying to get an understanding of what "full" or "satisfied" feels like.

What are the other March 20th-ers doing for pured food and mini-meals?

I was sleeved on 3/19. I am on pureed now. I had trouble with the shakes, gag me, so now most of my Protein comes from foods. I actually had a ground up burger for dinner yesterday. Added some mustard and low fat blue cheese. So yummy!!

3/20 sleeve here as well. Doing fine. Protein shakes/shots (what a fab idea with the sno cone thing!), couple of tablespoons of yogurt or chicken salad. Of course sf pudding, popsicles, Jello. And my saving grace - broth. I hated that Swanson stuff in a box - blech. So I use Wegmans Spicy Thai Broth mixed half and half with broth packets - and yes, there is a lot of salt. Small price for me right now for the satisfying taste and relaxed tummy. Down #10 pre-op, #15 post. Only worry is no BM yet. Guess I'm heading out to get some Mirilax. Can't wait. :/

Go easy with the mirilax. I did about half of the recommended dose and the next day......BOOM. I went 5x's. I know TMI but I figured better share my story :)

      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.
