I just found this site and forum. In two days I go back to full liquids! I have loss 26 lbs and 2 pant sizes. I hate the Protein drinks... Yesterday I went from using Water to Almond milk with my chocolate protein and it's much better... My wife had the sleeve done one year ago and she is helping through this journey. She has lost 100 lbs...

Hello I'm 10 days post op and it's the first day i wake up and not feel sick and regret this decision. I've had mixed emotions about this surgery and the discomfort after surgery didn't help. I havent had the big amout of weight loss as I'd hoped. Any suggestions on what to do or tip see more than 7lbs lost since the start of my journey.

      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.
