Bad: I am 10 days out and my darn pain got worse on my left side. doc says it is normal until the stitch in your abdomen dissolves. I wish it would freaking dissolve already bc the pain even with pain meds is unbearable the last couple of days.

Good: 5 pounds lost in 10 days. I had lost 7 but I think I am retaining Water bc I didn't get enough in yesterday so I gained 2 pounds. Already skipped a size from before my preop diet :) went from 3x to 1x tops.

Everything else so far I expected. Just wishing the pain would go away. I know it will pass though and looking forward to living my life lighter lol

Good luck on your journey!

Did your left side stitch ever dissolve? One week out tomorrow and mine is just getting worse. I control it with a heating pad but as soon as i remove it and try to move arond ....BAM!

Also, it sounds like you had a great first week. What did you eat (drink)? I take full swallows with. No problems.

I agree the worst part is eating one too many bites and sliming, throwing up from a chewable Vitamin (Bariatric advantage) or throwing up because your GI tract is not ready for a certain food like beef. That being said, getting sleeved is the best thing that has happened for both my physical and mental health. I have not been more happy and at peace with life. Good luck!

      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.
