2 1/2 wks out now & had lost 21 lbs at my 2 wk visit. Soft food is a blessing! Haven't found anything that bothers me, but I'm trying to be careful. ret'd to work yesterday & did ok - was tired last night.

Thanks to all the good thoughts & prayers on my brother's death - especially Nomo band. It really helped to know ya'll were there. We were able to bury him in the National Cemetery in Dallas with Military honors. What an amazing facility

Preop diet going good, for sure not mentally easy but do-able. Thanks for the support Jake!

Ok, so today is the big day, surgery with Dr. Brebbia this morning at 1130! Scared, nervous, and excited - wish me luck!

On a side note - nervous because I have had terrible post nasal drip from the pollen and I have started coughing. But I am worried they'll turn me away. I did call them to check and I don't have a fever, but still worried.

I was in the same boat day of surgery- the my did mine regardless and even said it was better for me that I was coughing! Hope it went well!

liquids where hard for just a few days. Then I did herbal tea hot that went down well. A few days later tried cold again. And no problems I can't chug but I take a normal drink like before surgery. Think I'm just lucky

I had my surgery on Thursday May 21 with Dr. Eric Sommer at Hudson Valley Hospital. Today I'm 2 days post-op and I'm now beginning to feel some gas pains. I still don't know what my limit is but I seem to tolerate Water and my Protein Shakes pretty well. Just not a lot of either. No nausea thank goodness. And I seem to be able to take the same sips as I did before surgery. How's everyone else doing?

Hi all, i was sleeved may 12, I just wanted to put it out there for people on the thread I didn't take any pain meds after day 2, and actually asked for less while I was in the hospital as I was feeling great. Just wanted to say for anyone worried. I have had 3 natural births so I know pain, but for anyone who may be concerned, that was my experience!

yeah gas pain is probably the most annoying for me to so far, walking does help that. I'm 3 days post today, glad surgery is done with tho huh!? I'm also just doing sips of water, today was my first full day home, it took me about an hour to drink about 5 oz broth sipping of course. Day by day it all gets a little better :)

      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.
