I am 5 days post op and I am so exited about this. I have had very little pain and nausea, I feel great. I am so afraid I am going to forget that I´m sleeved and just by habit stuff my mouth with junk. I dreamed I had a bag of cheese doodlez and I woke up all scared. What will prevent me from putting junk in my mouth just as a pass a piece of food or snack? Have any of you forgot about the sleeve and made a mistake?

Great to hear. So I will just plan to go on a feeding frenzy at night in my dreams? Anyone want to join?

This happened to me EVERY night during my pre-op phase, but I haven't had ANY dreams of food since surgery 10 days ago! (except for one about eating some gross mush last night) I kept waking up thinking I had 'cheated' and eaten something I shouldn't have!! So weird.... but i agree -delicious dreams are calorie free!!!

My first night home I dreamt I had ate French fries, I woke up scared to death until I realized it was a dream. WHEWEEEE!

I dreamed about food and eating the wrong thing for a couple of nights, too. Funny how that works!

As for randomly going by and putting something in your mouth...well, one step would be to NOT walk by random junk. My kids made trail mix on the 2nd day I was home. I asked them to take it to their rooms because I knew it'd be hard to walk by and NOT pick up a few pieces of it.

But also, you HAVE to focus on what you're doing right now. Post-op, you're really having to make some changes to your eating...from drinking liquids, to thinking about how much Protein you're getting in, paying attention to the "full" signals, sipping instead of gulping, etc. So it's not like you're going to be on auto-pilot with what goes into your mouth...and that'll include NOT eating the wrong things.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
