They are wonderful there. He was my doctor. I was sleeved on 01/06/14. You are doing the right thing. The walking helped me to much with all the gas.

I am less than 24 hours out of surgery. I am honestly walking around, drinking Gatorade, feeling fine. Dr. Ortiz is the best. My P is funny colors,but everything else seems normal. My leak test went fine, and I'm going to the Marriott tomorrow.

I can't believe how easy this actually was.

Hi...I am a newbie. Had my surgery on Jan7th in New Jersey. I honestly didnt think it was going to be so hard. I spent 2 days in, and got re admitted for 2 more days. I am starting to get sick of full liquids. I haven't had any food since Dec 23. Had to do 2 weeks of Protein Shakes. I have some soreness in my stomach. But everything goes down fine. Stomach makes gurgling noises. But I feel hungry...and when I do eat I feel so full. It like you can't win! Sometimes I worry I am not getting enough. This is all so confusing to me! Does anyone know a good Protein Shake. So far all the ones I have tried stink! Thank you.

I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It wasnt bad the first day. Kept myself busy today was horrid, I woke up with a bit of a Migraine. . My muscles were so sore from Lord knows what and I faced "head hunger" tonight. Thats wasnt pretty but I got through it. I had the tiniest taste of some tuna that I made for son but other than that I was good.

How many shakea do u do on your diet? I have to get 5 in amd finding it impossible. I can get 4, I will manage my time better tomorrow. With the 4 day weekend its hard to keep busy. I want to lounge on the couch but then that is where the head hunger comes in. I get bored lol

Good luck on yours!! U got this! I can have sf pudding and sf Jello, that saves me. :)

      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.
