Is there a way for the September Folks to stay current with each other? I mean, do you have to just pick through the posts -- or is there a centralized communication that folks can do?

Sassy sleevers on Fb is great, and I have a separate September sleevers group. Just email me your address and I'll add you.

I had surgery Monday. Today is a great day, but it's still hard to get Protein and Water in. I'm on full liquids for a month and I don't think those include mashed potatoes or cottage cheese. But! I'm ok with that because it sounds horrible right now.

Anyone off pain meds? I think I will be by next week.

Are the Facebook groups private?

You know, most are. I was thinking any of us who want can friend each other and keep up with each other.

I'd love to get in a group. My email is funmama1@yahoo.com. I'm on fb' date=' but keeping this journey private. ;)[/quote']

Mine is not a private journey... I am blessed that I was able to do this. My husband is planning to go in for his in March. I feel blessed that his entire family is supportive since they all know the medical reasons.

I wish you lots of luck and know that we are all here to support each other!

I am going to jump in here. I was sleeved 9/3. I have lost 16 pounds since surgery and 26 since my surgical consult. I had my post op visit today and was advanced to full liquids....Next step real food I can chew!

As for the FB groups, take advice with a grain of salt. Sassy Sleevers is popular and has a lot of members but it's pretty catty and full of poor advice. The September group is going well right now and it's set as Closed/Private so that any posts made there do not show up on your Facebook wall.

I've added everyone that responded to the september group. I agree, sassy sleevers has all of kinds of patients-- people asking for permission to behave poorly as well as perfect patients that follow the book. Have to pick and choose for sure!

      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.
