I was sleeved on May 13 th. I'm doing pretty well...so hard getting in all of the Protein. Water which I hated before is my new best friend. 5 days post op and I'm still really tired and weak. Tomorrow is my first Dr appointment hopefully move to mushy foods! Any one else feel weak and lightheaded? I'm so ready for my energy to return! Good luck to you all!

I was really sore but I got up right after I came up from recovery and went pee. Then was able to get up and pee on my own after and walk around. Sitting up was rough as well as turning over. I slept on my stomach last night. Only taking pain meds at night. To help sleep. Gas pain on and off was really bad right out of surgery but it gets better. I'm just ready to start this new chapter in my life!!!!

I never lost my energy... I started Vitamins (chewables) three days before surgery... I also found chewable squares of Biotin and I have not lost any hair at all except normal shedding. I found Protein ice that I drank on my clear liquid diet!! I think this helped! It is real high in protein... Chike has a great ice coffee packed with protein and tastes great! I had this every morning. Their shakes Taste better than most as well. I had my surgery 4/23!! I had a ruff day the first day post op because I didn't get my butt up and walk enough... The gas is what hurts! My doc wouldn't give heavy narcotics because it binds you up but he took pitty on me and gave me one dose and said "walk walk walk" Ahahah so I did and felt much better!! Not sure if this helps.

I'm certainly trying to be ready. It's not easy. Feel like I won't be able to get some sleep tonight. What about you?

      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.
