It has been so hard to do liquids. But I'm hanging in there. 30th is right around the corner. My pre-op is the 25th

Awesome! I found a sleeve buddy :) Let's keep each other posted :)

YES! GOOD LUCK TO YOU TO SLEEVE BUDDY! Did your insurance come through?

I am tentatively set for the 30th. Just waiting on insurance approval. Hopefully I will know by the end of the week. On liquids til the 30th! WE can do this! GOOD LUCK

My flight to San Diego leaves in a little less than 4 hours. Then across the border into Mexico and straight into surgery! I cannot believe that the time is already here! I'm so excited but so scared at the same time! Good luck my fellow 9/24 sleevers!

I was sleeved on Sept 9. I was reversed from Lap Band. I also had to have my gullbladder taken out. The pain at first was unbearable but I am feeling wonderful now. I tried to go back to work in 6 days. That didn't work out very well for me. I ended up taking off the rest of the week. I am back to work now. I have a desk job and have a little discomfort where my big incision is due to my pants sitting on it all day. I am on soft foods. Everything seems to be going to down great. I can only take 3 bites of my food and then I am full but hungary again in 2 hours or so. I am 2 weeks and 1 day post op and I am down 21 pounds. Still have aobut 70-80 more that I would love to loose.

Do you feel hunger pains? How do you know you are hungry?

Usually my belly starts to growl like it use to so I take 2 or 3 bites of something and it goes away and I am full again.

      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.
