Hi everyone! My name is Trish and yesterday I had my sleeve surgery. I'm so excited about my new life. I've stocked my kitchen at home for success and I'm ready to move forward with life. I'm a single Mom, 42 and new to this world!

Hi! Sorry for the delay in writing. Things are going really well. I haven't gotten the hang of getting all of my medications in, BUT , I'm getting the essentials in. Tonight I'm setting up alarms to remind me to take things at various times. I feel pretty good actually. I just made myself get up and do my 30 minute walk though I didn't want to...lol. taking it slowly. The first night was the worst in terms of pain, but after I filled the prescription for pain. I slept like a baby last night and woke up in less pain! I did take my pain meds tonight because I'm hoping for a nice long nights sleep! Please let me know how your surgeries go! It was weird not feeling hunger. I think today was the first day I've been hungry this week!

Sounds like your doing great! I have also found that setting alarms is very helpful! Having a plan for each day, laying out my "meals", and keeping a journal (I use "lose it.com) of meals and weight. Congrats and keep it up!

      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.
