@@bestisyettocome859 I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts. I was also sleeved on the 5th and you have to be an amazing person to handle both simultaneously. Keep your head up and Water down.

Hey all!! My surgery was 5/5/5, so I am exactly 1 week post op!! Feeling pretty darn good!! It is challenging getting my fluids in. Today I start full liquids and just had my first sip of my Protein Shake. How is everyone else doing???

I had mine May 5th as well. Going great- tired of liquids lol, using Isopure to get the Protein in, and struggling with energy some, but I'm sure after years of constant motion my body is happy for a break!

Shaun na & hb.mambo - thanks for your warm wishes. I especially love the "keep your head up and Water down". It pretty much is my mantra now.

Good luck and prayers to all this week's sleevers. Your in my thoughts and prayers and will be amazed at how quickly you bounce back.

      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.
