Hi All, I was sleeved on 9/22/2015 and have lost a total of 28 lbs. since surgery. I DEFINITELY had to learn my new tummy because when I started purees I could not tolerate food for almost two weeks. I'm better now, had to be put on proton pump inhibitor and took about 5 days to kick in. The gas and bloating were bad but seems to be getting better. I'm looking forward to my goal. WE can do this!

Hi Kisha, how are you doing since your surgery? I am looking forward to joining the club, lol.

I'm okay! Very emotional but I'm sure that will pass with time.

How did everyone do with their preoperative appointments? Was there any issues? I'm getting ready to have my endoscopy and sleep study done and I'm a little nervous.

      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.
