Hi everyone, as i have said before i am 4 mths post op but still dont feel quite 'normal' yet. Does anybody else feel like this? I seem to always feel better in the afternoon but i never wake up and bounce out of bed anymore. All my blood work is normal so just hoping its my body adjusting to the new me!

Everyone is so different. We all have fears that something is going to happen to ruin our new goals and mind set. You will get stronger and stronger as time goes on. Maybe you might want to try to hire a trainer for a bit to get you going again. If all the Doctors are satisfied that you are okay. Maybe push the next step. It can be so exhilarating to exercise. I always feel very high after I do that.....

Me right now am on hold as well. i have a new issue with my sleeve and am just trying to get better myself. So I know the frustration that can happen when you are on this journey! :)

I am one of the very very few people who have had one complication after another....I have been in and out of the hospital continually since my surgery in 2012.

From a leak to a coma to 14 surgeries and then a category 5 bed sore...Five months of no food and now I have an abscess due to a pin hole leak. Now I have a drain in my side and they are trying to drain it. 6 weeks I have to keep the drain and I have a nurse that comes in every day to flush it out..Hurts like the dickens. but it is what it is...

I am thrilled with my progress and would not change my decision to have this done. I am a live where before I was just existing....I am so grateful for the sleeve. But I was a rare patient that had it all go wrong.....

I did not have a clue about any of what what going or could have happened from this choice....If you want more detail...PM me and I'll tell you want you need to know...no problem...I am sure people are tired of hearing my story by now...lolol

      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.
