Good to hear you are doing so well. I felt that weird growling at first as well but chalked it up to healing to quiet the head hunger. The food commercials got to me at first but now almost 3 weeks out I am addicted to the food Network. I DVR so many and even watch repeats LOL. My husband and kids thinks it is weird but it is strangely helping me right now. Best of luck to you :D

Good deal! I know, my first day at home alone, I was quite sad, but I made a day of it. Remember to walk, walk, walk!

I'm 4 days post op also. Also had a hernia repair. Good to know you're still having pain. Kinda feels like a lump in my throat/neck. Idk. It's weird and difficult to describe. I think the hernia repair has been harder to recover from than the sleeve.

      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.
