Well I hope everyone is doing wonderful!! I'm sleeved day two right now. I'm not going home until Friday, and right now I'm trying to drink about 150ml a hour. Not to bad. Had some bad dry heaves last night, but I think it was from being put under. My doctors are amazing! My husband has been great been here the whole time! Good luck to the rest of you this week. Oh and bring Chapstick!!

That sounds like a good idea!! I would love to take off a month to be sure I don't screw anything up. but we'll see. I know exactly what you're saying when you talk about no pee breaks and no water! We've been having a lot of those days lately. Gotta love September! ;-)

I'm a nurse too! My sleeve is 10/15 in Boston

- my surgeon says 4-6weeks, mostly because I'm going to have a weight restriction for 6 weeks... If I'm doing stellar, he might let me go back at 4 though. I'm kinda happy for the extra time off though, it's tough to take care of others when you are not feeling 100% yourself!

Same here- it's 1000 calories /day, consisting if 3 high Protein Meal Replacements and 1 healthy meal. I get a few free foods like broth and non- starchy vegetables too, helps with cravings :)

      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.
