How are you feeling? I ended up staying in the hospital until Sunday. Feeling pretty good but exhausted. Doc says it's because I'm not getting enough nutrition. I'm averaging about 700 calories a day. Today I was weighed at his office. I've lost 15 pounds. He said 10-15 at this point was average.

Hi I am feeling okay. I stayed in the hospital till Sunday as well. I got my surgery done about 6 pm on the 22. I left the hospital at 8 am Sunday. Then back to work on Tuesday. I was thankful for Labor Day weekend.

It is very hard getting calories in...can't eat much. And not getting enough Water.

I gained weight after the surgery + 5 the day I came home. I lost that plus 13.

Good to talk to someone who was sleeved the same day!!!

Just stick to high Protein liquids and sip Water all day long. Many people find it uatd at first but it will happen. Goong back to work so soon though has to be rough. Need that time to heal and concentrate on getting in ur Protein and water. Make sure ur walking every hour too. It will aid big time in the healing process. Good luck to you. I am 8 months post op and rockin it out. Down 127 so u have some greatness to look forward to.

      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.
