Hey June 5th Sleevers! How are you feeling? Are you ready for tomorrow?

Waiting for the Dr. To come get me.
I got sleeved on jun 5, worst pain & discomfort than my c-sections. First two nights at home had to sleep in recliner. But like all things this did past. By day 5, back to my bed & sleeping thru the night & without additional pain med. Today is one week post -op & feeling great. Down 25 lbs, with minimum of 75 to go. Very positive, saying everyday to myself, tomorrow will be better. I have no regrets as eating more than my body needed, put me in this position. I want to Eat to live, not live to eat. I will make better choices and I don't have to say no to anything, I just won't needs so much to fill me up. (Of course that's As soon as I'm eating solid foods again) I made this plan with myself, as all others seemed to fail, almost 9 months ago, researching everything. I am very happy to have the liquid diet & operation behind me. If you do this for you, because your worth it, you realized your not giving up anything, your getting your food problems behind you & now we can get on LIVING,

The easiest way I've found to get my Protein in is using 100% whey powder from GNC. They have great flavored currently I'm using chocolate/ Peanut Butter with 8oz of skim or 1%milk I do this twice a day as morning & mid afternoon snack giving me 48grams each time if I use one scoop &1/2 total calories 310/620 This way getting that out of the way you can look to other foods for the rest. Your stomach is so small don't need a lot of anything else.

      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.
