Recommended Posts

I had a band to sleeve revision 3 weeks ago at Hospital MI with Dr Lopez. Not having US follow up after surgery is a HUGE disadvantage now. Lots of questions and concerns go unanswered. If I could do it over....

Day one of mushies! For Breakfast I had 2 oz. of whipped cottage cheese. Felt nice and full but not uncomfortable. For lunch I had two scrambled eggs cooked with a pat of butter and with less than a teaspoon of ketchup. Again feel full but not uncomfortable. I am down 19 lbs- surgery on June 4th. I look back on how I used to eat and before I used to be so hungry all the time, I wish I had done this sooner!

I wish I had done it sooner too, June 9 for me! It's amazing I come home from work, by habit, I hit the kitchen for a snack, now it's a spoon of cottage cheese, and I'm good. Before it was crackers, hummus, cheese, bread, olives. And wine! So many calories, which in turn made me get this big, I love my sleeve!

Hello from Texas! I'm new to this and feel so overwhelmed but I have also learned so much from reading everyone's post. My surgery is scheduled for June 30 in Houston and I'm on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet. I feel like this is going to be the hardest part. Any suggestions or helpful tips to get through the pre-op stage?

Sitting here on post-op day 1. Lots going through my mind, but very little going out or in my body. Feeling the immediate "what have I done" feeling a bit. So I found this forum to help get me through these first days. Anyone going through the same thing? Encouragement needed. Patrick

      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.
