Hi, my name is Suzanne and I am going through the process to get approved for the sleeve, down in south Florida. Been for psych eval, medical approval and the nutritional counseling. Have the appointment with the surgeon at the end of the month and hopefully the insurance will cover the procedure. I just saw your post for Unjury and signed up to register. It looks like a great way to get your Protein. Thanks

Here are a few key tips I found helpful after surgery:

1. Walk... walk a lot... walk constantly! LOL

2. Force the protein!

3. Stay hydrated. (This is hard for me. I have to drink from the time I wake up until I go to sleep.)

4. Take your meds./ Vitamins.

5. Be your own advocate. If you have questions, call your surgeon/ nurse/ etc...

6. Lose weight, but learn to love yourself. Be proud of yourself.

I wish you the best of luck throughout this journey! :)

      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.
