I had my sleeve done a week ago today, and I didn't want to weigh myself because I hear weighing yourself every day just makes you crazy, butttttt I went to see my aunt at the doctor's office she works at and I couldn't resist. IM DOWN 16 POUNDS!!!! HOLY MOLY! I'm so happy, and glad that all this is already paying off. I feel great. I haven't had any nausea, I've been getting my 64oz of Water in, yes, I'm over the liquid diet, but I have my post op appointment on Thursday. Something to look forward to. I just wanted to share my joy with everyone today, and hope you guys are having an amazing Monday! :)

Congrats! I know what you mean. ..I can see the weight loss in my legs, face, and in my shoulders. . I carried a lot of my weight in my stomach. However, what I do see makes me feel more human... in fact since surgery and the weight loss, I feel like I am more accepted out in public, which makes me so happy!

Congrats on your surgery! I know what mean about chewing on something. I am able to get soft foods down, but only a small bite. .I feel my stomach digest and it bugs me. My husband still has a hard time understanding that I can only eat extra small amounts, but remains my biggest supporter. It is still a learning experience, but I wouldn't change a thing. I wish you the best of luck! I know you will feel so good and so happy! :-)

      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.
