I'm feeling u ..I started mine today ..it gets better after three days is what I read and my daughter just went through it... are u on liquids only or can u have veggies?

I'm very lucky. I can have food! Low carbs. I had a Protein Shake this morning, sipped on grape frost Isopure watered down all day and had a grilled chicken salad from Burger King, 10 glasses of Water and 2oz. Of ham after I cycled 5miles in 30minutes. I don't feel deprived or suffering yet. Hope I can keep this up for the next 14 days!!!! Fingers crossed!

I will be sleeved tomorrow. Woke up today at 4 am with pain in my right leg from yoga's class yesterday night, I think is the tension! I do excited and lind of scared. Casually i learned last night that a neighbor ( my apt building is really small) had a bypass last month and was talking to her for an hour, she telling me about her post op. Of course the sleeve is not so invasive, but it's nice to have a WLS neighbor to whom speak. I will keep you posted. By the way i am beeing sleeved in Caracas, Venezuela.

      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.
