I want to join the end of Dec 2014 sleevers! I had my surgery 12/30 and came home this am. Did a sub group get formed that I can be added to? 2015 is going to be awesome - this year I know the loose weight resolution is going to happen due to my new tool so I'm not alone!

Had surgery on the 30th. I had excellent care and other than soreness at the largest incision site things are going well. My stomach hurts after very little to drink or eat (yogurt only). But that is to be expected. After all my preparation and apprehension I'm starting my new journey.

GNC Lean 25 shakes are my fave and it comes in various flavors. I bought the premixed ones, but you can buy the powder and make your own. I also had my sleeve on 12/30. I've been doing great, but had a rough night last night. Feeling better this morning.

Had surgery the 31st two days ago. The first night my chest hurt and that was all got the dry hews thursday morning and the chest pain left. I think it was gas but then my stomach started to hurt! Not doing to bad now just got to come home as they had me stay an extra night. But all in all I am doing real good.

@sweeteyes504...Thank You! I have hundreds of different crystal lites, I will start using them today. If the pain from my right incision would not be so, painful I would be OK but, right now I am regretting this surgery. ????

      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.
