I was sleeved on 8/18/2014!!! It was a surreal experience! I never thought that having ANY surgery would be this crazy!! Not even labor was as intense as this surgery!!! my hospital stay was great. I had a great team of staff taking care of me!! but now I cannot seem to get my liquids down!!! it takes me about 3 hours to finish 1 16 oz Water bottle! And the Protein Shakes? Forget it!! I cant deal with them!!

I'm on liquids this week and I am able to get all my liquids in. In fact I was a little worried because I can get 7 oz in in one sitting. It may be different with Protein Shake but the liquids go down just fine. I do have a little cramping still here and there but nothing I can't handle. Thank god I've had a great recovery so far. That is other then the headache the other day. I'm walking about a quarter of a mile or so. Tomorrow I hope to walk a half of a mile. I haven't been tired yet but I guess I better get prepared for that. Thanking god everyday!

      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.
