Hi all, I had my on 11/11 too. Other than a terrible Migraine, which I had before going into surgery, I felt great. I have been great since. Get tired some, but no problems. Getting plenty of fluids and my minimum Protein.

Today started full liquids, but until just a few minutes ago (9 p.m.), I have just had Clear Liquids. Took my kids to the park, so they could play, and I could walk the trails.

I'm feeling blessed & lucky...I hope all my 11/11 buddies are doing well.... Good luck to all the Pre-Op & Post-Op Sleevers... This is one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself! I'm ready for the good. ..the bad, and,.. the ugly! Negativity doesn't live on this block anymore!!! :) Good Night... I'll talk to yall soon...♥tammethick♥...

I am new to this forum, still learning my way around. My surgery is scheduled for the 20th at Northside in Atlanta. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I would like to join the secret FB but cannot seem to figure out out to send my contact info.

That's weird greersc.. haven't had that issue with any others..I'm very sorry.. it shouldn't have done that..i will look into it...now when you say your Facebook page do you mean your home page or your profile page... because you can see group posts on your home page, but others on your friends list do not see them..they will see posts from their own groups on their home page that you don't see...?

      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.
