I cannot believe it has a modem on it, so they can tell if I am using it or not...ugggg Cannot wait till Tuesday!!!

April, the mat couple days were the toughest for me with exhaustion. I felt like The Walking Dead. (See what I did there?!). It was really tough. But you're almost through it!

Thanks Jen. I know. I just didn't want to place myself in a position to be overcome with the food around me. But I'll be ok. It does totally suck balls though

I actually got a full 4 hrs strait with it on last night, which is rare. Mine has a memory card instead of a modem and they check it every 90 days.

I'm hoping to get some rest and wake up refreshed tomorrow Bc I've got a whole apartment to pack up. Moving around the first of March.

We can do it, it just isn't easy.

Well guys I put the diet aside to eat out with my family tonight for Valentines. I have to admit it was so yummy! Tomorrow is a new day back on track & I'm gonna try to get a walk in to make up for today. Glad all of you are doing well.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it's a little disconcerting that you just "set aside" the diet you NEED to follow so easily.

*I'm not trying to be a dick here, but.....

:(

I hope everything goes well. It's a very difficult diet. My son brought home a little Caesars pizza and crazy bread. But I didn't partake Bc I'm needing to know I have control over my eating habits. Me. In control.

Sweety, please, please, please get back on track tomorrow. We are here for you and I know it's hard but this is go time. We are in the end zone here.

A major part of this process is this diet. I hope you can get back on track tomorrow and not have any more set backs. This isn't a diet for only shrinking the liver, but also as a test of what's to come.

<3 you can do this. But only if you have the strength to be stronger than the food

I like the new name Chick!

I'm home. I feel pretty good. I keep forgetting this is the third time these incisions have been used so I am more sore than I expected. But I will keep this pain to not have the trapped gas pain. I had that with all my previous surgeries and was so concerned I would have to deal with that. I know the soreness will be gone in a few days.

I have not experienced hunger yet. I keep thinking I am but then I realize its just my stomach moving or gurgling.

So far so good!

Haha. Glad to know I have friends! I knew

People would wonder where I was. But I was just so dang out of it! That anesthesia is no joke. I basically slept 22 hours straight. This morning I thought "I will never get out of bed again!" And tonight I'm wandering around my house no problem. My sweet husband just said it's good to see me up on my own. I'm sure his arms are just about dead from me needing his help every time I stood. I'm so glad to be out of surgery and back home. I'm planning on a walk with hubs and baby tomorrow. We are having gorgeous weather and I know the activity is good for healing.

Hey everyone,

I have been gone for a while. I was sleeved on the 10th. I had my prayers, lip balm, and gas x ready. Lol. All I can remember was the recovery room. My blood pressure did spike a little. My surgeon said my liver was good and it was a nice sleeve.

I live in GA, and left the hospital the next morning. We were snowed in and all I had was broth and popsicles. Lol. Today, I feel great. My husband took me shopping because I can't eat anything. Walking helped soooooo much. I was miserable before. I was able to walk today, and I feel like a million bucks.

Let me be honest. Day 2 I cried alone due to regret. I finally shared it with my husband today. I asked myself, y couldn't I do this myself. I asked , what had I done to myself. I prayed for understanding. Today, my rainbow after the storm has come.

This post is very long, I felt it would be selfish to not share my truth. I have a wonderful support system, and my husband has been great. Oh. Fyi. I am 35 lbs down from my last weight in before pre opt. I wish you all luck.

You lucky duck!! You're blessed to have him, indeed! And yes, they say the more you walk, the faster you heal. I can't wait to watch your progress!!! You are going to do so great!!

      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.
