I should be having my surgery in about an hour. I know the next few days/months will be tough, but I'm still excited.

Good luck ladylee823! My advice is even if you don't feel like it, walk as much as possible in the hospital. It will make pain management so much easier

Congratulations! It will be a little rough at first, but the best advice you could get would be to walk ASAP. It helped my recovery a lot I believe.

I got sleeved on june 30 and everything went exceptionally well. Was off pain. Meds a couple hours after surgery. Walked 1/4 mile every 4 hours in the hospital. Was back to the gym 2 days after surgery. I thankfully wasn't effected by lack of energy. In fact now that im 4 weeks post op I feel more tired. 2 weeks post op I was down 12 pounds. I was back to work a week and a half after surgery. I'm afraid I'm not losing weight though. And some days it's hard keeping food down.

I had my Surgery on Jul 18th. Lost only 10 pounds since Post Op. The scale is stuck for the past three days.

Try drinking warm or room temp water/fluids it may go down easier.

      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.
