I had my surgery May 22 at Doctor's Hosp. This is VERY HARD. It will be great if we could all get together once a month. I don't know you guys, but I'm giving up my social life for a while. What use is to go out if I cannot eat ? Still on pureed diet, went to a birthday party, left after half hour. There was so much food... it was torture. I have to admit I miss food. Not hungry...its a mental thing. I wish to find someone who I can call and complain or cry on each other's shoulder. Someone who will understand and support each other. Our emotions are a roller coaster right now. A good friend will make things easier.

I have not been sleeved yet. September 23rd is my date. I would love to join a local support group of Sleevers in Metro Detroit. Are there any?

      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.
