Hi sleevers ! Regarding going back to work - I waited 3 weeks and now 6 weeks out - I am still not at the energy levels that I hoped. I am a school teacher. I think it really depends on your job, your age, your intake of calories etc. and your general health. I was a major couch potato. Now I'm walking and taking dance lessons (cha cha cha!) so I thought that would up my energy but it really hasn't. Regarding calories - I have had no problem with eating since day 1 and average about 500-800 calories a day with about 60-90 grams of Protein.

All in all I do feel good - and just take naps in the afternoon when I'm really tired. I am getting about 8-10 (sometimes 12!) hours of sleep. I decided I would let my body tell me what to do and not stress about it.

To My Fitness Pall subscribers - I didn't realize we could add people to view our accounts. My logon is estipo if anyone is interested. I didn't keep up with it until the last 3 weeks or so (I'm 6 weeks out).

Unlike others who have posted - my issue is that I am almost always hungry and can eat anything !! Nutritionist and Nurse said that everyone is different - I have a very forgiving sleeve. I am worried though because I can eat up to 800 calories a day - but I am still losing (although slowly).

@@FATBGONE - I'm the same way! I still have hunger and my sleeve let's me eat almost anything! I'm losing slowly but I think that's a good thing.

I have a really hard time remembering to get my Protein in. I get busy and just drink some flavored water to shut up my tummy from growling. I've got to start doing better. I can definitely tell the difference with my weight loss when I get all my protein in.

As for going back to work, I went back to work 10 days after my surgery. I felt really good. I work a desk job from home so that made all the difference. Plus I just think I'm a fast healer and bounce back fairly quickly.

      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.
