Hey' date=' thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it. It helps so much to stay connected. I've found the more I eat the Protein, it helps. I'm just exhausted. I want to get out to exercise and it's hard to motivate. I had the surgery two weeks and two days ago. :-)[/quote']

I had surgery a two weeks and 1 day ;) my energy level is pretty decent. What I have noticed if I get tired easily.. also im feeling slight pain under my incisions.. ita like one of them is stick to something and as I cant stretch or it feels like its pulling. Best what I cam describe.. I feel it in my back as well.

I am definitely going through some emotional stuff. It's very odd to not eat over it.

I feel like I can eat too much it's weird but with my band when I felt discomfort I'd stop because it hurts this sleeve as long as I take my time I'm good

Over time you will get used to not eating. Its tough for me when I am stressed because I want to eat everything but luckily I can't. as for how I am doing I am down 83 lbs and feel amazing. I have hit a plateau for the last month however I have been losing inches and gaining muscle so I am not worried about the scale not moving. All in all I have to say that getting the sleeve was the best decision I ever made.

Wow that's amazing. I would assume it gets much easier. It already has in two weeks. Can I ask what your goal loss is.

      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.
